About Osman Gazi Bridge

Osman Gazi Bridge is a landmark. Location: Altınova İlçesi, Yalova Province.

From Wikipedia

The Osman Gazi Bridge (Turkish: Osmangazi Köprüsü) is a suspension bridge spanning the Gulf of İzmit at its narrowest point, 2,620 m (8,600 ft). The bridge links the Turkish city of Gebze to the Yalova Province and carries the O-5 motorway across the gulf. The bridge was opened on 1 July 2016 to become the then-longest suspension bridge in Turkey and the fourth-longest (ninth-longest as of 2025) suspension bridge in the world by the length of its central span.
