The Çanakkale 1915 Bridge is a planned suspension bridge located at the western end of the Sea of Marmara, close to Çanakkale and approximately 200 kilometers from Istanbul, Turkey. It will be one of the longest suspension bridges in the world by length of central span. The bridge will be part of the Kınalı-Tekirdağ-Çanakkale-Balıkesir motorway project, and is currently planned to be built between Gelibolu (Sütlüce village) in East Thrace and Lapseki (Kocaveli village) in Troas.
