Historic Çarşamba Bridge
Çarşamba, Samsun
A historic bridge over the Yeşilırmak in Çarşamba, opened in 1931, with 10 spans and 270 meters long; today open to pedestrians only.
Its story
On the site of the bridge there used to be a wooden bridge built in 1890. As it was no longer sufficient, it was decided in 1930, after Atatürk's visit to Samsun, to build a new one in its place. The bridge, opened in 1931, has 10 spans and 12 piers and is 270 meters long. Open to vehicle traffic until 2007, the bridge today serves pedestrians only and is the most photographed stop on the riverside walk.
