1915 Çanakkale Köprüsü açıldı! Cumhurbaşkanı Erdoğan geçiş ücretini açıkladı!

The 1915 Çanakkale Bridge, one of Türkiye's major projects, opened today. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, in his speech at the historic ceremony, said, "We're not just talking about a bridge here. We have a massive transportation project connecting Istanbul to Balıkesir via Tekirdağ and Çanakkale. Çanakkale is embracing a brand new future today." Erdoğan stated that the project will contribute an additional €2.4 billion to the national income. President Erdoğan announced that the bridge will be free to use for one week, with a toll of 200 TL for cars thereafter. The 1915 Çanakkale Bridge, the world's largest central-span suspension bridge, is opening with great enthusiasm. Construction of the bridge, which will allow crossing the Dardanelles in just six minutes, began on March 18, 2017. The bridge, where President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan attended the groundbreaking ceremony, will be operational exactly five years later, following the completion of the highway construction. President Erdoğan's statements are as follows: Dear people of Çanakkale, esteemed guests. I greet you with my most heartfelt affection on this historic day. Çanakkale, a beloved gem for thousands of years for diverse civilizations, cultures, and societies, is today embracing a brand new future. We are gathered here to unveil the ruby ​​necklace we hung on the Dardanelles. Today, we first visited the Martyrs of Çanakkale, recited the Fatiha, and commemorated them. As the poet says: If you are buried in a stony place, you will overflow... Alas! These horizons will not reach you, this jihad will not take you... O martyr, son of a martyr, do not ask me for a grave. The Prophet stands with his arms wide open to you... We always say, "Build a bridge from the past to the future." Today, we are putting this saying into practice in both letter and spirit. I pray that the 1915 Çanakkale Bridge will be a blessing for our country, our nation, our city, and all of humanity. This bridge, just like the July 15 Martyrs' Bridge across the Bosphorus, the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge, the Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge, the Marmaray Bridge, the Eurasia Tunnel, and now, here in Çanakkale, we are opening the 6th bridge. Remember, 140 years ago, Sultan Abdül Hamid Khan made the sketches and preparations for those bridges. We have also been fortunate enough to realize some of these projects that were left unfinished due to the successive wars the Ottoman Empire faced. The length of the central span, 2023 meters, signifies 2023, the centennial of the founding of our Republic, and the ambitious goal we have set for that date. "IT WILL BE COMPLETED IN 6 MINUTES" These steps we are taking with Korea will quickly increase our trade volume to $20 billion. We are taking these steps with our investments and bridges. We have shown, and continue to show, to friend and foe alike that nothing the Turkish nation cannot achieve when it sets its mind to it. We are not just talking about the bridge here. We face a massive transportation project connecting Istanbul to Balıkesir via Tekirdağ and Çanakkale. The work is done by the skilled. Ferries used to serve this road, one of Türkiye's busiest vehicle routes. It used to be a place where people waited for hours to get on the ferry. The same journey will be completed in six minutes over the bridge. From place to place... TOLL FEE RISES TO 200 TL From now on, we will not focus on which way the wind is blowing, but on the chains we broke, the freedom we regained, the voices of the innocent we listened to, and the gains we made for our nation's direction and the country we raised. My brothers and sisters, with these sentiments, I once again wish the 1915 Çanakkale Bridge to be a blessing for our city, our country, our region, and the world. Are we ready? We have set the price for car crossings here at 200 lira. The price is 200 lira. However, you know the ferry crossing prices here. You know the expectations. One week is free. If the monthly or annual fee is against the contractor's profit from the build-operate-transfer project, who will pay the difference? We will pay from the state's coffers. CENTURY PROJECT The 1915 Çanakkale Bridge and Highway Project, billed as the "project of the century," included the construction of one suspension bridge, two approach viaducts, four reinforced concrete viaducts, six underpass bridges, 38 overpass bridges, five bridges, 43 underpasses, 115 culverts of various sizes, 12 intersections (including intersections on state highways), four highway service facilities, two maintenance and operations centers, and six toll collection stations.
