    Australian craning company assembles history-making bridge in Turkey

    More than 300 metres above Turkey's Dardenelles Strait, an Australian craning company has pulled off a spectacular world-first.
    Working in a dangerous earthquake zone, the team completed the crucial stage of a history-making bridge build, with an incredible record lift.

    "What we've really done is we've revolutionised the way that bridges can be constructed globally," The Men From Marr's Simon Marr told 9News.
    The pillars will eventually support the world's longest suspension bridge, linking the European and Asian sides of Turkey.
    When completed the bridge will be more than 4600 metres long and will turn a 90-minute ferry ride into a six-minute drive.

    Mr Marr's Sydney-based craning company was hired to assemble the bridge's towers.
    They had no idea just how difficult the job would be – the worksite is in an earthquake zone and the coronavirus pandemic forced all workers to be cut off from the outside world.

    Well done to Aussies!

    Cheers,
