Excerpt from Wikipedia
The Kömürhan Bridge, or with its other name, İsmet Paşa Bridge is a box-girder bridge that carries the Elazığ-Malatya highway D.300 over the Firat River in eastern Turkey. It was constructed using the balanced cantilever technique.
The bridge was constructed to replace an arch bridge built by the Swedish company Nydqvist & Holm AB and opened on October 5, 1932, which was flooded with the completion of the Karakaya Dam. The new bridge was built by the STFA Group between February 23, 1983 and April 8, 1986.
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.
