The total length of the bridge is 3,563 m (11,690 ft) and together with the approach viaducts the length reaches 4,608 m (15,118 ft), which surpasses the total length of the Osman Gazi Bridge and its approach viaducts by 527 m (1,729 ft), to become the longest bridge of any type in Turkey. [13] The height of the bridge's two towers is 334 m ...

The bridge links the Turkish city of Gebze to the Yalova Province and carries the O-5 motorway across the gulf. The bridge was opened on 1 July 2016 to become the then-longest suspension bridge in Turkey and the fourth-longest (seventh-longest as of 2023) suspension bridge in the world by the length of its central span.
On Friday, a massive suspension bridge in Turkey that connects Europe and Asia was inaugurated. The 1915 Canakkale Bridge is the world’s longest suspension bridge.
Uzunköprü is the longest stone bridge in the world. [17] When it was first completed, was 1,392 metres (4,567 ft) long and 5.24 metres (17.2 ft) wide. [6] The bridge was the longest in the Ottoman Empire and later Turkey, a title which it held for 530 years until 1973, when it was surpassed by the Bosphorus Bridge in Istanbul. [23]
The world's longest suspension bridges are listed according to the length of their main span (i.e., the length of suspended roadway between the bridge's towers). The length of the main span is the most common method of comparing the sizes of suspension bridges, often correlating with the height of the towers and the engineering complexity involved in designing and constructing the bridge.

Some bridges are measured from the beginning of the entrance ramp to the end of the exit ramp. Some are measured from shoreline to shoreline. Yet others use the length of the total construction involved in building the bridge. Since there is no standard, no ranking of a bridge should be assumed because of its position in the list.
The foundation stone was laid on 29 May 2013 [4] and the bridge opened to traffic on 26 August 2016. [5] [6] At 322 m (1,056 ft), it is the world's fifth-tallest bridge of any type. [7] The main span is the 13th longest suspension bridge in the world [8] It is also one of the world's widest suspension bridges, [9] at 58.4 metres (192 ft) across.
