Our bridge which was designed considering the high wind speeds in the region has been tested against the most unfavorable wind effects that will occur during the operation period and during the construction and successfully passed these tests. The tower foundations of our bridge were reinforced with steel piles and a submerged caisson type foundation positioned on the ground was chosen against major earthquakes.Production in European and Asian Anchor blocks was 99 percent.

With the 1915 anakkale Bridge and the 101 kilometers long Malkara-anakkale Motorway coming into service the Marmara Highway Integration will be fully achieved. In other words the Marmara Ring surrounding our Marmara region which has become a point where the most important commercial corridors of the world intersect today will be completed.The ferry crossing continuing through the Dardanelles Strait was causing an unbearable ordeal for both passengers and the people of anakkale especially in the summer months. Our bridge will eliminate all these difficulties and will radically change life in anakkale and its region. The 1915 anakkale Bridge will reduce the passage time from the Dardanelles Strait to six minutes which is a 30-minute ferry crossing but often hours with a waiting time. When the project is completed the annual time saving amount will reach 465 million lira and the amount of fuel savings will reach 102 million lira.
