Turkey's $5BN Bridge to Europe

Turkey is constructing the Çanakkale 1915 Bridge, the soon to be longest suspension bridge in the world. The Çanakkale 1915 Bridge will connect Asia and Turkey across the Dardanelles strait, a thin passage of water in northwest Turkey. It will be a feat of engineering with many symbolic aspects included in its design. The bridge will be part of the Kınalı-Balıkesir Motorway, a $4.7 billion USD highway connecting Europe and Asia. The Çanakkale 1915 Bridge will have many benefits and few problems. It is currently well-under construction and is planned to open on March 18th, 2022.
