Kömürhan Bridge

The Kömürhan Bridge spans 287 meters across the Euphrates River, connecting the provinces of Malatya and Elazığ in eastern Turkey.

The STFA Group constructed this box-girder bridge between February 1983 and April 1986, replacing a concrete arch bridge from 1932.

The bridge represents a notable engineering achievement, listed among the 50 most important civil engineering works in Turkey.

The structure carries the D.300 highway over the Karakaya Dam Lake, enabling vehicle traffic between sixteen provinces in Eastern Anatolia.

The bridge construction required specialized balanced cantilever techniques, demonstrating advanced engineering methods for large-scale infrastructure projects.
