I'm very interested in the bridge mentioned in this article but I'm not able to read more than a few words. Would anyone be willing to take a look and let me know what the general idea is? It's a bit long to ask for a translation. Thanks, Sarah


Bridge article

Here is the summary of the story:

Leonardo Da Vinci designed a bridge in 1502 for "Golden Horn" (Haliç) in İstanbul.

Now they decided to build that bridge exactly as it was designed by da Vinci.

The Mayor of Istanbul has agreed on the project and has assigned architect Bülent Güngör to this project. Bülent Güngür is known for his works on restorations for some palaces in Istanbul.

The bridge will be constructed of steel and will be covered with a special type of stone (kufeki stone) that Mimar Sinan used in his buildings.

The bridge will be 240 meters long, 24 meters high from the sea and 8 meters wide. It will be for pedestrians.

Thanks so much. If the words get too long, I can't find the root and don't know what to look up. Yet. Thanks again. SJ
