Third bridge ready on August 26

The third bridge is ready on August 26: The work on the connection roads of Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge, one of the most important projects in the history of the Republic, connecting Europe and Asia. It is considered certain that the bridge will open on 26 August with connection roads
3 was built in Istanbul as part of the Northern Marmara Motorway Project, which will be the largest bridge in the world when it is finished. The Bosphorus Bridge and 2 will be 10 lanes.
Thanks to the Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge, which will greatly ease the traffic, the annual loss of fuel and labor loss due to overburdening the first and second bridges will result in the loss of annual 3 billion pounds.
The bridge on the Odayeri-Paşaköy section of 3, which has an investment cost of 120 billion dollars, will also be a first in terms of having the rail system in the same deck.
The bridge, with a width of 59 meters and a tower height of 322 meters, breaks a record in this regard, and with a total length of 408 meters and a total length of 2 meters, it will earn the title of “the longest suspension bridge in the world with a rail system on it”.
WILL OPEN ON AUGUST 26
Reduction of transit traffic load in Istanbul, access to urban traffic without access to vehicles, high standard, uninterrupted, safe and comfortable way to save time by ensuring the transit of transit, with other modes of transport to ensure the integration of Istanbul city traffic to reduce the intensity of heavy traffic, envisions the elimination of air pollution and environmental problems caused by.
The bridge is planned to be opened in 120 in August along with the 26 kilometer-long highway and connection roads. The project is not seen any trouble on the opening of this project.
The tenders for the Kınalı-Odayeri sections of Kurtköy-Akyazı and 169 kilometers of 88, which are the continuation of the Northern Marmara Motorway Project, were concluded and the winning consortiums were announced.
The expenses of the roads to be built within the framework of the build-operate-transfer model belong to the companies that will undertake the work.
ASPHALT CASTING FINISHED ON THE BRIDGE
Asphalt casting was completed in the bridge which was reached to the last stage in the superstructure operations.
In this context, first sandblasting of steel deck surfaces was performed. Immediately thereafter, paint and insulation materials and steel deck surfaces were completely protected against corrosion.
After the isolation layer, mastic and stone mastic asphalt and asphalt were carried out in two stages. Mastic and stone mastic asphalts at the main openings and back openings were manufactured in high quality and their laying was completed. Natural bitumen, called TLA, was used in the mastic asphalt mixture.
A total of 11 bin 500 ton asphalt was laid in the main span and rear opening. Asphalt works were carried out by a team of about 150 people with day and night shifts.
Isolation and asphalt works were completed in less than a month.
CONNECTED TO THE INSTALLATION OF THE TOWERS OF THE BRIDGE
The concept design was made by the structural engineer Michel Virlogeux, described as "French bridge master", and the Swiss company Ti Engineering, and the assembly of the tower caps on the ground started.
After the assembly, the tower hats will be replaced with the help of 300 meters. Thus the 322 bridge towers will be finalized.
