As part of the Republic's 100th anniversary celebrations, the Adana 15 July Martyrs Bridge will be decorated with a giant Turkish flag measuring 1,699 meters long and 9 meters wide. Covering an area of 15,300 square meters, this Turkish flag is the largest ever flown to date.
The events at the Adana 15 July Martyrs Bridge, commissioned by the Ministry of Transport and carried out by Metgün İnşaat, were organized with the contributions of Adana Governor Yavuz Selim Köşger.
During the daytime events of the Republic's 100th anniversary celebrations, canoeing, cycling, and running races will take place, while light and water shows will be held at night.
THE LARGEST FLAG IN HISTORY IN ADANA
The most important detail of the 100th anniversary celebrations at the Adana 15 July Martyrs Bridge is the Turkish flag, which is 1,699 meters long and 9 meters wide.
The Turkish flag, covering an area of 15,300 square meters, will also be the symbol of nationwide celebrations.
For the first time ever, a giant Turkish flag covering such a large area is decorating a city.
May the sky and earth become a flag
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, in a call made on his social media accounts, marked the October 29 Republic Day and 100th anniversary celebrations, calling for “the sky and earth to be filled with flags.” The giant Turkish flag hung on the Adana July 15 Martyrs Bridge seemed to echo Erdoğan's call...
The celebrations and events to be held in honor of the 100th anniversary of our Republic will be photographed by Ahmet Ertuğ, one of Turkey's prominent architects and photographers.
Ahmet Ertuğ, who came to Adana to watch the events, will capture this important day in photographs for posterity.
OPENED IN APRIL
The Adana 15 July Martyrs Bridge, Turkey's fourth longest bridge, connects the districts of Seyhan and Yüreğir, which are separated by the Seyhan River.
The bridge, built by Metgün İnşaat, was opened to service last April with the participation of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli.
The 6-lane bridge, which is 1,699 meters long and consists of 27 spans, also includes a 2-track railway.
