With a span of 2,023 metres, the bridge has reached completion and is now open to traffic over the Dardanelles waterway, connecting Turkey's European and Asian shores.
Created by consulting group COWI for contractor DLSY, the structure takes the title of the world's longest suspension bridge from the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge in Japan, which has a 1,992-metre-long span.
