The 1915 Çanakkale Bridge (Turkish: 1915 Çanakkale Köprüsü) is a road suspension bridge in the province of Çanakkale in northwestern Turkey, first opened on 18 March 2022. Situated just southwest of the coastal towns of Lapseki and Gelibolu, the bridge spans the Dardanelles, about ten kilometres (six miles) west of the Sea of Marmara. The bridge is the longest suspension bridge in the world; with a main span of 2,023 metres (2.023 kilometres; 1.257 miles), the bridge surpasses the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge (1998) in Japan by 32 metres (105 feet). The bridge was officially opened by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in 2022 after roughly five years of construction. It is the centrepiece of the planned 321-kilometre-long (199 mi) US$2.8 billion O-6 motorway, which will connect the O-3 and O-7 motorways in East Thrace with the O-5 motorway in Anatolia.
