More than 4,000 people will be employed to work in the construction of the 1915 Çanakkale Bridge, a leading member of the consortium building the bridge has said.

The bridge is expected to be the longest suspension bridge in the world by its length of main span with 2,023 meters.

The groundbreaking ceremony for the 1915 Çanakkale Bridge is slated to take place on March 18, the 102nd anniversary of the Çanakkale War. 

Turkey marks what it calls the Çanakkale War - known in English as the Battle of Gallipoli - every year on March 18, when Ottoman forces repelled an Allied World War I assault on the Dardanelles in 1915.
