Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox bridge Beğendik Bridge (Шаблон:Lang-tr), also known as Botan Bridge,[1] is a road bridge crossing the Botan River at Beğendik in Siirt Province in southeastern Turkey. Inaugurated in 2020, it is Turkey's highest and longest main-span bridge.
History
The construction of the bridge was projected in the 1970s. The construction works for the bridge and the roads, which started in 1998, progressed slow in particular due to the actions of terrorist organizations in the region.[2] The construction works started again in 2014.[3]
During the construction phase of the north structure, in mid December 2017, the Шаблон:Cvt long final segment of the beam broke off and fell into the gorge.[3][4] About three months later, in March 2018, the remaining north structure imploded, causing the north pier and the deck to collapse and fall to the valley slope. The incidents delayed the completion date, which had been set for the end of 2018.[4]
The bridge was completed early November 2019,[5] and was opened to road traffic on 11 July 2020.[3] The bridge connects the Van-Tatvan-Bitlis with Siirt-Mardin-Batman provincial road line Шаблон:Jct.[3]
Characteristics
Crossing the Botan River south of Beğendik town in Pervari district of Siirt Province, Southeastern Anatolia, it is a suspension type concrete balanced cantilever bridge.[6] The two-lane bridge is in total Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. It has the longest central span, at Шаблон:Cvt, of any balanced cantilever bridge in Turkey.[3] It is also the country's highest bridge at Шаблон:Cvt above ground.[3]
The construction of Beğendik Bridge was part of a Шаблон:Turkish lira 1.510 billion investment project launched in 1998 to connect Küçüksu, Tatvan in Bitlis Province via Hizan Junction with Pervari on a Шаблон:Cvt long provincial road. This road, with bridge and tunnels, replaces the former very dangerous and long road with hairpin turns winding in high elevation mountainous terrain.[7] Through the Beğendik Bridge, cargo transport between Iran and Iraq takes three hours instead of six hours before.[8] The travel time between Van and Pervari decreased from about five hours to nearly two hours on a safety and comfortable route. The distance between Beğendik and Pervari shortened Шаблон:Cvt.[7]
A workforce of total 1,025, of which 255 were from Beğendik town, was employed during the construction.[7] The bridge cost Шаблон:Turkish lira 100 million.[4]
