In order to regulate the traffic of Kazdağları, which intensifies in the south of Çanakkale, especially in summer, the section between Ayvacık and Küçükkuyu has also become a divided road. With the traffic becoming safe, the reunions accelerated, the road stress was over. Instead of comfort, peace came. We built the Ayvacık-Küçükkuyu Road and Troy-Assos tunnels, which ensure the integrity of the divided road on Çanakkale – İzmir and Çanakkale – Balıkesir Road. Thus, we have removed Kaz Mountains, which contains dozens of sharp bends, from being a nightmare for drivers. We reduced the transportation time from 50 minutes to 5 minutes. From now on, the unique nature and clean air of Kaz Mountains will be preserved; Çanakkale residents, local and foreign tourists and our transporter citizens will also benefit from the comfort of the road and the beauties of nature.”

We are on the suspension bridge. Of course, this does not only tell us about our engineering success. It also expresses our respect to the date of 1923, the foundation year of our Republic, and to our ancestors who were martyred for this cause. It also emphasizes our 2023 vision for a bright Turkey, which we will present to our youth. Çanakkale Bridge has a total crossing length of 4 meters. Another important feature of our bridge is that it is one of the rare suspension bridges designed as twin decks in the world. The 608-meter steel towers of our bridge are also a tribute to March 318, 18, when the Çanakkale Naval Victory was won. The red and white color of the towers represents our Red Flag.”

With the steel cannonball figure weighing 75 tons and consisting of 4 parts, the tower height reached 334 meters. It is impossible for us to forget Seyit Corporal, one of the heroes of the Dardanelles War. As you know, our hero managed to put the cannonballs on his back with superhuman strength, and hit the British Battleship Ocean at the helm, causing it to go out of control and crash into a mine. So these cannonballs are not ordinary figures. It is also a greeting from the next generation that Seyit Corporal has entrusted this homeland to him.”

With the outstanding success in the construction works, our project was completed 1,5 years before the contract date, so we saved 628 million euros. Even this project alone is an important example of the great benefits of the Build-Operate-Transfer projects with Public-Private Cooperation to our country and nation. Contrary to daily shallow political discussions, we are already preparing the infrastructure of our 2053 Vision and the 'Turkish Century', in short, the bright future of Turkey and our youth, with our Transport and infrastructure works that we have implemented within the framework of the Transport and Logistics Master Plan, which requires having a vision. 1915 Çanakkale Bridge; It is the message of the New Turkey to those who are deprived of the love of the homeland and the nation, and who are unable to protect the heritage of their ancestors. 'Respect for our ancestors is a gift to our future.' led by our President; that it will not allow any obstacle to invest in its nation, to bring service, to carry Turkey above the level of contemporary civilizations; He concluded his words by saying that Turkey will be the leading country of the region.
