THE GOLDEN HORN METRO BRIDGE FROM IPAD

Talking about the works on the Golden Horn metro bridge, Topbaş said, “If 1 million passengers will land at Yenikapı, this bridge exists if you cannot pass otherwise. If this bridge has been discussed continuously for 19 years, we, as those who are sensitive to this city, of course respect the city. I say that we do something with precision while doing something. We do not have the possibility of piling it with different carriers. Galata bridge sinks 1 - 2 centimeters a year. “Six slime” he said.

The committee elections in mid-February, and a week later, we hold the elections for the chairman of the board. We will have completed our elections at the end of February.
