As I've seen from the introduction video, the bridge looks like a cable-stayed type, not suspension. -- Iñfẽstør T• C• U 20:00, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
First point: Designers are Jean-François Klein & Michel Virlogeux. Second point: Its an hybrid cable stayed and suspended bridge or high rigidity (HR)bridge, like Brooklyn bridge. Sources: Myself, design team of BB3 T-engineering Geneva. — Preceding

This bridge would be a symphony bridge. Very few bridges of this type exist, the Brooklyn Bridge comes closest. It's also notable that the bridge deck is one of the widest in the world at 58.40 meters (the Port Mann Bridge in Vancouver has a deck of 65 m in width) Chriszwolle ( talk) 14:38, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
Dear User:Mavigogun, Why would you add unproven claims when the source makes no mention of it? The reference article does not mention trees being cut and the Italian company Astaldi has denied the claims for any changes in route or plans. That is why I had removed the line.

Why does the article have to mention the construction being controversial in the very first sentence? There were differences of opinions about almost all of the bridges ever built, but does it make every singe one of them "controversial"? All the issues (including removal of trees) and notable opinions can be discussed in the following sections. -- Kimse ( talk) 15:15, 25 December 2013 (UTC)
Can we have a more zoomed in map that shows the location of the bridge on the Bosporus alongside the other two? -- Infestor T• C 09:14, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
I suggest removing the contradictory paragraph in the article:
"Work was halted in July 2013 when it became evident that the site was mislocated- but only after the removal of thousands of trees. The action, announced in paperwork filed for a plan change written by State Highways Directorate Director-General Mehmet Cahit Turhan on June 11, 2013, reads "it is appropriate to cancel the current construction plan due to the necessity of making a revision, which resulted from changes of the route project". Both the ministry and the construction company have denied any change to construction site location.[13]" - Yozer1 ( talk) 15:28, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
Dear Colleagues
We are a reviewed, interactive, international, English-Czech magazine about bridge engineering "e-mosty", www.e-mosty.cz ("e-bridges").
In our June issue we brought a very complex article written by me, in cooperation with Dr. Klein, with Technical and Construction Directors from Astaldi and reviewed by Prof. Brancaleoni from the University of Rome. The article is accompanied with drawings, rich photo gallery and videos, having about 25 pages. I think that it is the most complex article about the bridge that is now available.
We are open access and non-commercial magazine.
However, after I put a link to our magazine onto this page in WIKI, user "malcous" removed it with a very unpleasant comment. After subsequent discussion he proposed that I put the talk here.
Please review it. I suggest the link is put back as either the source, or the link and stays there.
The article is here:

You can have a look at Czech Wikipedia, to compare, where I editted the article without any problem, including the source:

The bridge is not the longest combined motorway/railway bridge in the world. The Öresund Bridge between Malmö in Sweden and Copenhagen in Denmark is much longer, 7,845 m according to the Wikipedia article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Phu9 ( talk • contribs) 19:51, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
All the photos we have on the page are from pre-completion stage of the bridge. Since the bridge is now officially inaugurated, surely we could come up with a photo of the completed bridge instead. werldwayd ( talk) 20:43, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
