The World's Longest Suspension Bridge Connects Europe and Asia

The world's longest suspension bridge is 2,023 meters long.

The world's longest suspension bridge is 2,023 meters long and connects Europe and Asia. It became the longest bridge after Japan's Akashi Kaikyo Bridge.

The 1915 Çanakkale Bridge opened on March 18, 2022, in North-west Turkey, and it is 2,023 meters long.

The 1915 Çanakkale Bridge is 32 meters longer than the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge and was built from 2017 to 2022, reducing travel time by up to 93%.

Since the bridge opened, people no longer have to take a 90-minute ferry ride. The bridge's name and length honor Turkey.

The bridge's name honors the Ottoman victory in World War 1, which led to the creation of the Republic of Turkey in 1923.

The bridge's length honors the 100th anniversary of the Republic of Turkey in 2023. The bridge cost €2.5 billion to build.

The bridge connects Europe and Asia.

Turkey's president said that Turkey now has the longest bridge in the world.

The president said that the bridge is a new beginning for the area of Canakkale.

The president said that the bridge is like a ruby necklace over the Canakkale Strait.

The 1915 Çanakkale Bridge may not be the longest bridge for long.

Italy plans to build a new bridge that would be 3,300 meters long and the longest in the world.

Italy has tried to build a bridge to Sicily before, but it was canceled in 2006.

The plan to build the bridge was started again in 2009, but it was stopped again in 2023.

The Italian prime minister said that building the bridge is a good investment for Italy's future.

Some people are worried about the bridge because of earthquakes, strong currents, and birds.
