| Astaldi builds the “Golden Horn” bridge in Turkey A joint venture led by Italian builder Astaldi has been awarded the contract to build the bridge over the Golden Horn, also known as the "Hălic Bridge, " in a project totalling € 147 million in value (Astaldi's share: 51%). The Hălic Bridge will span the famous inlet of the European bank of the Bosporus, called the Golden Horn, linking Top.api to Galata. The route will extend for about a kilometre, allowing passage for Istanbul's new Un.apani-Yeni.api underground rail line. The new structure will include the construction of a steel cable-stayed bridge 387 metres in length, plus a 120-metre swing bridge to let vessels through. Works are scheduled to begin in early 2009. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Construction News :: home page |
