Eğiste Hadimi Viaduct, Road viaduct in Bozkır and Hadim, Turkey
The Eğiste Hadimi Viaduct is a concrete and steel road bridge spanning 1,372 meters across the Gökçay River valley. Eight central pillars and two edge abutments support the four-lane structure above the river bed.
The bridge opened to traffic on November 26, 2022, connecting the Mediterranean region to Central Anatolia. This marked a significant milestone in Turkey's ongoing infrastructure development.
The structure reflects modern Turkish engineering skill and demonstrates how builders from the region tackle ambitious projects. Travelers crossing it notice the careful design that adapts to the valley's natural curves and steep terrain.
The road is well lit and marked with four clear lanes that make driving straightforward and safe. Drivers benefit from reduced road gradient and a shorter route through the valley.
At 166 meters high, this is Turkey's tallest bridge and uses a special balanced cantilever construction method. The design was tailored specifically to handle the steep slopes and deep valley below.
