The 1915 Canakkale Bridge with a central span of 2023 meters is a candidate for the title of "The Suspension Bridge with the Longest Average Span in the World". The total length of the bridge is 4608 meters. It is said that there are 126 wires in each of the steel cables that form the main cables of the 1915 Canakkale Bridge. In total, approximately 162,000 kilometers of wire will be used as 296 steel cables of 4330 meters each will be stretched to form the main cables. The length of the wire used in the steel cables is 40 thousand 75 kilometers, which is 4 times the length of the earth's boundaries. Within the scope of the Çanakkale 1915 Bridge and Highway Project, the following were constructed: 1 suspension bridge, 2 approach viaducts, 4 reinforced concrete viaducts, 6 underpasses, 38 overpasses, 5 bridges, 43 underpasses, 115 culverts of different sizes, 12 intersections (including intersections on the national highway), 4 road facilities, 2 service and operation centers. According to Turkish reports and statements by the Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Adil Kara İsmailoğlu, the “Çanakkale 1915 Köprüsü Bridge” is characterized as follows: • Its length is 3,860 meters and the distance between the two towers (columns) is 2,023 meters, with 6 traffic lanes (3 out and 3 back). • It is the longest of its kind in the world, surpassing the Akashi Kaiko Bridge in Japan, which held the title at 1,991 metres. • The 1915 Canakkale Bridge reduces travel time between the two banks to 6 minutes by car, down from the hour and a half it used to take by ship. • The bridge rests on two foundations that are 333 metres long on each side, with its towers standing 318 metres high, taller than the Eiffel Tower at 300 metres. • Total annual savings of (US$85 million) The bridge deck is 72.8 metres high and has an overall width of 45.06 metres and a maximum thickness of 3.5 metres. The deck carries six lanes of motorway traffic (three in each direction) as well as two walkways on each side for maintenance. The lower part of the roadway rests approximately 70 m above the water, which allows large ocean-going vessels to pass freely under the bridge. The area where the bridge is located has problems such as strong winds, high seismic activity and multi-story container ships, which must be taken into account. Strong winds are always critical for a long-span suspension bridge, and a double-hull girder was adopted to ensure aerodynamic stability. The bridge is located at the southern entrance to the Sea of ​​Marmara in the direction of Istanbul and is the only route to the Black Sea in the north, very large container ships and cruise ships pass under the bridge, and the risk of collision with ships was taken into account in the design. . The foundations of the bridge piers stand on the seabed at -45 m on the Asian coast and at -37 m on the European coast. As part of the ground improvement work, 165 steel piles with a diameter of 2.5 m were driven into the base of the Asian tower, and 203 into the base of the European tower.
