Atatürk Bridge, Highway bridge over Golden Horn in Istanbul, Turkey
The Atatürk Bridge extends 477 meters across the Golden Horn, featuring two lanes in each direction and connecting the districts of Unkapanı and Azapkapı.
The current structure, opened in 1940, represents the fourth bridge at this location, following the original Hayratiye Bridge constructed in 1836 under Sultan Mahmud II.
The bridge carries the name of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, marking the transition from Ottoman Empire infrastructure to modern Turkish engineering and transportation networks.
The bridge maintains a width of 25 meters and functions as a primary route for vehicles crossing the Golden Horn, providing direct access to central Istanbul.
Before the current concrete structure, three different bridges occupied this location, including an iron bridge built by French engineers in 1875 for 135,000 Ottoman gold liras.
