Mega bridge project: 64 m above the Sea of Marmara

The Izmit Bay Bridge is being built around 50 km southeast of Istanbul and will be the longest and most advanced suspension bridge in the world. The ambitious infrastructure project is slated for completion in 2017 and will not only complete the highway from Istanbul to Izmir, it will also be the fourth longest suspension bridge in the world at a total length of about 2,700 m. The extensive project is currently progressing at full speed. As one of the contracted companies, crane service provider Aydin Vinc A.S. of Turkey relies on a SENNEBOGEN 5500 crawler crane for numerous lifting and logistics tasks at the enormous construction site.
