  • ... that the Beğendik Bridge in Siirt Province, Turkey, was the country's highest and longest span concrete balanced cantilever bridge at the time of its opening? Source: "Begendik Bridge is Turkey's highest and longest span beam bridge.", "Begendik, Siirt, Turkey", " it became one of the few known concrete balanced cantilever bridges ..." [1]

  • QPQ satisfied, new enough and long enough, free of copyvio and other policy issues. AGF on the Turkish language sources. The hooks is interesting but needs a reliable source (the Highest Bridges wiki is not a reliable source). Currently, only the statement that it has the longest central span in Turkey seems to be well-sourced (Hurriyet).
    I would also suggest to shorten/simplify the hook slightly to (replacing "___" with whatever is well-sourced, e.g. "has the longest central span of any bridge"):

    ... that the Beğendik Bridge ___ in Turkey?

  • Thank you for the review. The same source states that "it is the highest of Turky" "450 metre uzunluğuna sahip köprü, 165 metre yüksekliği ile Türkiye'nin en yüksek köprüsü olarak dikkat çekiyor." (in Turkish) → "Bridge with a length of 450 meters, 165 meters in height attracts attention as Turkey's highest bridge." (Google translated). As your claim is now addressed, therte is no need any more to change the hook in my opinion. CeeGee 10:05, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Transport "between Iran and Iraq"

[edit]

A line in the article currently states that "cargo transport between Iran and Iraq takes three hours instead of six hours before", sourced from a Turkish-language source that I can't read. What information is this trying to convey? Currently it doesn't make sense to me; Iran and Iraq are neighbours, so there's no need for transport between them to even pass through Turkey, never mind take 6 hours.

  • The information is about that the road using the bridge saves time for cargo transport between the two countries via Turkey. If you look at the map, you will see that there are locations in Iran and Iraq, which are connected via that route. Besides, you can have a translation using the "Google translator".
