The 1915 Çanakkale Bridge in Turkey, spanning the Dardanelles Strait, stands as the world leader with a massive main span of 2,023 meters, marking the dawn of the 'two-kilometer span' era. The name pays homage to the 1915 Gallipoli Campaign, while the 2,023-meter span serves as a clever nod to the centenary of the Republic of Turkey (2023). Beyond its record-breaking reach, its 318-meter-tall towers make it one of the tallest suspension bridges globally, towering over the massive vessels navigating between Europe and Asia. In comparison, the former record-holder, the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, now appears modest, highlighting a significant leap in seismic engineering and ultra-long-span design capabilities.
