	Izmit Bay Bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Izmit Bay Bridge is a planned suspension bridge located at the eastern end of the Sea of Marmara, approximately 50 kilometers from Istanbul, Turkey.
		As of 2005 it will be the second largest suspension bridge in the world (by length of central span), though several proposed bridges, most notably the Strait of Messina Bridge will be longer when completed.
		The bridge and connecting highway is designed to provide 3 traffic lanes in each direction across Izmit Bay.

	bridge, structure. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Bridges built during the Middle Ages usually rested on crude stone arches with heavy piers (intermediate supports) that were a great obstruction to river traffic, and their roadways were often lined with small shops.
		A cantilever bridge is formed by self-supporting arms anchored at and projecting toward one another from the ends; they meet in the middle of the span where they are connected together or support a third member.
		The San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge, noted for its three long spans, of which two are suspension spans and the third a cantilever, has a total length of 8.25 mi (13.2 km).

	biology - Suspension bridge
		This kind of bridge is particularly pleasing to the visual senses, with one beautiful example of the type being the Golden Gate Bridge at the entrance to San Francisco Bay.
		The main cables continue beyond the pillars to deck–level supports, and further continue to connections with anchors in the ground (An exception is the Royal Albert Bridge (1859) where the anchors are replaced by an arch between the columns.) The roadway is supported by vertical suspender cables or rods.
		The main forces in a suspension bridge are tension in the main cables and compression in the pillars.

		The longest cable-stayed bridge in the United States is the Dame Point Bridge in Jacksonville, FL with a span of 1.300 feet (396 m).
		The swing bridge is usually mounted on a pier in midstream and swung parallel to the stream to allow water to pass.

		But the company in charge of designing the bridge, Stretto di Messina, says that it would keep the disruption to a minimum, and that the fresh investment, new employment and boost to the economy would more than compensate for any sacrifice by residents.

		In the specialized field of seismic engineering and retrofit Delcan is recognized as one of the leaders in the field in Canada.
		Our work on the Izmit Bay Suspension Bridge was driven by large seismic load and movement requirements; in fact a recent earthquake at the site resulted in differential movements of nearly a metre in the ground along a major fault.
		The Izmit Bay Bridge design is proof against even these large movements.
