The 1915 Çanakkale Bridge , is a road suspension bridge in the province of Çanakkale in northwestern Turkey.
Situated just south of the coastal towns of Lapseki and Gelibolu, the bridge spans the Dardanelles, about 10 km (6.2 mi) south of the Sea of Marmara.
The bridge was officially opened by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on 18 March 2022 after roughly five years of construction.
The year " 1915" in the official Turkish name honours an important Ottoman naval victory against the navies of the United Kingdom and France during World War I.
The bridge is the longest suspension bridge in the world—with a main span of 2,023 m (2.023 km; 1.257 mi).
The bridge is the first fixed crossing over the Dardanelles and the sixth one across the Turkish Straits, after three bridges over the Bosphorus and two tunnels under it.
