Oct 01, 2026

The Third Bridge has added a new touch of color to the Bosphorus in Istanbul. The Third Bridge was illuminated during the work carried out as part of the project.

Work continues on the Third Bosphorus Bridge and Northern Marmara Highway Project, implemented by ICA. As part of the project, the installation of the “catwalks” was completed. Following that, a colorful step was taken on behalf of Istanbul: the Third Bridge, the Bosphorus’s new gem, was illuminated.

The preparatory phase for pulling the main cable has reached its final stage. The installation of the “catwalk,” which began after the guide cable once again connected the two sides of Istanbul, has been completed. With the installation of the 2,370-meter-long “catwalk,” Asia and Europe have once again been brought together. As a final step, the 2,370-meter “Catwalk” was illuminated.

The Chief of the Main Cable on the European Side of the 3rd Bridge Project stated, “Approximately 800 projectors, divided between the north and south, are being used for the lighting process. Although it adds a beautiful visual touch to the strait, the lighting is also important for ensuring that work can continue. Since the pulling of the main cables, their surveying, the coating of the main cables, and the installation of the suspension cables will continue day and night, the catwalks have been illuminated.Lighting will be provided in the work areas on days when operations are underway.”
