Baku, Azerbaijan, March 19

By Rufiz Hafizoglu – Trend:

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has changed the date of commissioning of the Canakkale-1915 suspension bridge, which was scheduled for 2023, the Turkish media reported March 19.

He said that the bridge will be opened March 18, 2022.

Erdogan noted that the bridge is being built at an accelerated pace.

The construction of the Canakkale-1915 suspension bridge, which will become the longest suspension bridge in the world, was launched in March 2017.

The bridge will not only connect the Gelibolu peninsula with the Lapseki area, but will also shorten the transportation of goods from Europe to the Aegean and Western Mediterranean regions of Turkey, bypassing Istanbul.
