Golden Horn Metro Bridge, Cable-stayed metro bridge in Istanbul, Turkey
The Golden Horn Metro Bridge stretches 936 meters across the Golden Horn waterway with two steel towers reaching 65 meters in height.
The bridge project originated in 1952 but construction began in 2009, requiring multiple design modifications to preserve Istanbul's World Heritage status.
The bridge's architecture incorporates horn-shaped towers and hull-shaped supports that reference the maritime traditions of the Golden Horn region.
The metro bridge connects the Beyoğlu and Fatih districts through the M2 metro line, facilitating transportation for hundreds of thousands of passengers daily.
The structure features a swing mechanism on its Unkapanı side that opens within minutes to allow large vessels to pass through the waterway.
