The New Golden Horn Bridge was built in 1998 to reduce the traffic load of the Old Golden Horn Bridge. As this bridge forms a crucial connection for Circular Road (Çevreyolu/E5), its importance would be even greater in case of an emergency situation in Istanbul. Services provided by Miyamoto Turkey included quality control, project management, construction supervision services, the rearrangement of design and erection documents according to local conditions for reinforcement of piers, replacement of the elastomer bearing and an expansion joint, installation of falling-down prevention device and a transverse displacement restriction device and the expansion of pier foundations.
