Oct 01, 2026

Work on the superstructure of the 3rd Bosphorus Bridge has also reached its final stage. Asphalt paving on the bridge has been completed.

As Asia and Europe come together once again in the 3rd Bosphorus Bridge Project implemented by ICA, the asphalt paving has also been completed.

The 3rd Bridge Construction Site Manager stated, “Asphalt work has begun on the bridge. First, we sandblasted the steel deck surfaces. Immediately afterward, we fully protected the steel deck surfaces against corrosion using paint and insulation materials. Following the insulation layer, we carried out the asphalt work in two stages using mastic and stone mastic asphalt. Our mastic and stone mastic asphalt for the main span and subsequently the rear spans were manufactured to a high standard, and their paving has been completed. "Natural bitumen, known as TLA, was used in the mastic asphalt mixture," he said.

The official stated, "We laid a total of 11,500 metric tons of asphalt on the main span and the rear spans. The asphalt work was carried out around the clock by a team of approximately 150 people. We have completed the waterproofing and asphalt work in less than two months," he added.
