Ağın Bridge, Cable-stayed steel bridge in Ağın, Turkey.
Ağın Bridge is a cable-stayed steel structure that crosses Lake Keban, linking communities on opposite shores. The design features a central span supported by cables running from tall towers, creating a modern crossing for vehicles.
Construction began in 2001 but faced pauses requiring design modifications to the project. The work resumed in 2012 and concluded with the opening in 2015.
The bridge name connects to the legacy of the former Karamağara Bridge, a Roman structure submerged during the creation of Keban Dam in 1974.
The bridge has two traffic lanes and is open to all standard vehicles year-round. It serves as the main crossing for regional travel between the area and surrounding communities.
The structure incorporates vertical support elements that distribute weight through cables attached to towers, delivering superior stability compared to suspension designs.
