The Kömürhan Bridge, also known as the İsmet Paşa Bridge, is a box-girder bridge[1] that carries the Elazığ-Malatya highway D.300 over the Euphrates River in eastern Turkey.[2] It was constructed using the balanced cantilever technique.[1][3]
The bridge was constructed to replace a 100 m long concrete[4] arch bridge built by the Swedish company Nydqvist & Holm AB, costs 110 million Turkish lira as the money of that time, and opened on 5 October 1932, which was flooded with the completion of the Karakaya Dam. The new bridge was built by the STFA Group between 23 February 1983 and 8 April 1986.[3][5]
Kömürhan Bridge is between Malatya Province and Elazığ Province. The tender, that is for building a new bridge that is 600 m length at same place, completed in 2013.[6]
It features in the "50 works in 50 years" list of significant building projects in Turkey published by the Chamber of Civil Engineers in Turkey.[7]
