Successful completion despite difficult conditions
External circumstances such as the covid pandemic and harsh weather conditions made this project a challenge for everyone involved. Nevertheless, thanks to the in-depth knowledge, extensive experience from previous bridge projects, and professional engineering and project management from previous mega projects, all work was completed successfully and on time.
Yunex Traffic in Turkey has thus completed another important milestone on their mission to unite what’s next in traffic. You can already look forward to the next one.
