Replacing Bridge Bearings without Interrupting Traffic to the Second Bosphorus Bridge
Located on the O-2 Highway in Istanbul, the Sadabad Viaduct is a connecting motorway to the Second Bosphorus Bridge; the 19th longest suspension bridge span in the world. Approximately 400 bearings needed to be replaced on the Sadabad Viaduct while the road remained continuously open to traffic.
