BRIDGE MAINTENANCE TO BE STARTED IN ISTANBUL

Türkiye’s Makyol and Japan’s IHI yesterday won the contract to repair and structurally maintain the two bridges over the Bosphorus by offering the lowest bid, 246.5 million liras, beating the Hyundai-Gülermak consortium, which bid 387.6 million liras. After the contracts are finalized with the winners, the restructuring and repair works are planned to begin, lasting around 540 days. Large-scale maintenance and repair work will be carried out on the first bridge, the Bosphorus Bridge, while only small-scale repairs will be needed for the second bridge, the Fatih Sultan Mehmet (FSM) Bridge.
