Construction of the Bosphorus Bridge in Turkey
Symbolizing the union of Europe and Asia, construction of the third Bosphorus bridge, now called Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge?, was launched on May 29, 2013. With its remarkable proportions, this bridge has broken all records. A single deck was favored in deference to the architectural style of the two existing bridges over the strait. T Ingénierie, a firm of consulting civil engineers, chose the CSTB for its expertise in wind loading.
