Türkiye, Greece to build new bridge

    WORLD  28 April 2024 - 15:23

    Türkiye and Greece have reached an agreement on the construction of a new bridge connecting the checkpoints of the two countries near the Meric River.

    The construction of the new 811-meter-long four-lane bridge structure will start this year. The structure will function alongside the old two-lane bridge built in 1958, Caliber.Az reports citing Turkish media. 

    Yunus Sezer, the governor of the Turkish province of Edirne, bordering Greece, said that the existing bridge can no longer cope with the growing volumes of Turkey's international trade, so the authorities of the two countries have decided to implement a new transportation project.

    The construction work will be financed by both sides, which will speed up the flow of goods and passengers between Türkiye and EU countries.
