摘要：	The opening of the majestic 1915 Canakkale Bridge on March 18, 2022, well ahead of its initial schedule, has set new records for Turkey and international bridge engineering. After Istanbul's three bridges over the Bosphorus Strait, Turkey now boasts a fourth bridge connecting Europe and Asia, and the first to span the Dardanelles Strait. In addition to linking the two shores, the bridge also is ambitions to connect Turkey's past and future. The steel structure is named after the Canakkale battle, a decisive naval victory, regarded today as a key milestone towards the foundation of the modern Turkish Republic in 1923. Even the bridge's dimensions offer a nod to history: the mid-span stretch stands at 2,023m, symbolising the centenary of the founding of the Turkish Republic, while the towers stretch to a height of 318m above sea level, marking the exact date of the 1915 battle. The bridge and the 88km Malkara-Canakkale Motorway which leads to it represent a mega-scale transformative investment for Turkey and its neighbours by contributing to the realisation of an uninterrupted trade route from Beijing to London.
