The 1915 Çanakkale Bridge on the Dardanelles strait, connecting Europe and Asia, is the longest suspension bridge in the world. [3]The Straits have had major maritime strategic importance since at least the Mycenaean period, and the narrow crossings between Asia and Europe have provided migration and invasion routes (for Persians, Galatians, and Turks, for example) for even longer.
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.
The bridges spanning the Bosphorus Strait in Istanbul, Turkey are: Bosphorus Bridge, also called the First Bosphorus Bridge, a suspension bridge; Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge, also known as the Second Bosphorus Bridge, a suspension bridge; Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge, also known as the Third Bosphorus Bridge, a suspension 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.
