Fog Halts Dardanelles Ship Traffic; Drone Captures Enigmatic 1915 Çanakkale Bridge

 

The Dardanelles Strait shut down for ship transit due to thick fog, causing disruptions for three days in Çanakkale, Türkiye. Reduced visibility led to the closure of Bosphorus traffic around 09.05, with warnings issued to ships entering from the North and South. The Dardanelles Strait Vessel Traffic Services Directorate announced the closure to two-way transit ships until fog clears, anticipating a return to normal once visibility improves.

Meanwhile, a drone captured the 1915 Çanakkale Bridge, the world’s longest central span suspension bridge at 2023 meters, amidst the fog. The bridge’s ethereal appearance during the fog’s passage fascinated observers.
