Nissibi Bridge

The Nissibi Bridge extends 610 meters across the Atatürk Reservoir with a main span of 400 meters and two pylons reaching 96 meters in height.

The construction of this bridge in 2015 replaced an earlier crossing that submerged beneath the waters of Atatürk Dam, built in 1992.

The bridge name originates from an ancient settlement in the region, connecting communities across the Euphrates River in southeastern Turkey.

Four traffic lanes facilitate transportation between Adıyaman and Diyarbakır provinces, eliminating the need for long detours through Şanlıurfa or ferry crossings.

The bridge structure incorporates a trapezoidal steel deck supported by double fan-shaped cable planes and inverted Y-shaped concrete pylons.
