Hălic bridge runs across the famous inlet of the European side of the Bosporus, known as the Golden Horn, linking Topĸapi to Galata. The route runs for approximately one kilometre and allow the new Unĸapanı-Yeniĸapı line of the underground to pass along it.
The new structure involved the construction of a steel cable bridge measuring in length 387 m and a 120 m swing-bridge which will open to allow boats to pass through. Works started in 2009.
