The governing their number has increased to more than 1000 today. Their spans factor for the designs are ultimately the laws of nature which are have also increased by leaps. From 1975, when the span record was identical worldwide. 404 m, it jumped to 856 m in 1995 and today has reached 1104 m.

The major effect in this growth is one specific Project covering the highway construction from Istanbul to Izmir and the bridge to be built in the Izmit Bay. There are many other Engineering projects in the pipeline to come. Here are some examples: 1 THE THIRD BOSPHORUS BRIDGE Bridge of Firsts The 3rd Bridge, which is going to be built on the Bosphorus, Istanbul within the Northern Marmara Motorway Project executed by IC Ictas – Astaldi Consortium, is considered the future of transportation and commerce. The 3rd bridge, which is going to be built on the Bosphorus, Istanbul after the Bogazici Bridge, which started operating in 1972, and the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge, which was completed in 1988, is regarded as the bridge of firsts. 8 lanes of motorway and 2 lanes of railway will be located at the same level on the 3rd Bosphorus Bridge, which will be a product of professional engineering and advanced technology built by a team, most of whom are Turkish engineers.

    He has been expert for the Moosou bridge in Ivory Coast and the Edea bridge in Cameroon, consultant for the Evripos bridge in Greece and many important bridges in France, specially on the A75 Motorway, such as the Truyère Viaduct at Garabit, the Piou and Rioulong viaducts, the bridge over the river Lot at la Mothe, and took part in the preliminary design of the Tanus viaduct over the river Viaur. With his team he also controlled the execution design of several important bridges in addition to those of which he developed the project : the bridge over the river Marne and the Neuilly Plaisance viaducts and later the Ru de Maubuée viaduct for the Marne-la-Vallée line of the Paris Mass Transit System, the viaducts over the Gouet and Gouedic at Saint-Brieuc, the Fontenoy viaduct over the river Moselle, the Meylan and Illhof pedestrian cable-stayed bridges, the Tricastin bridge over the Donzère-Mondragon canal and the experimental bridges at La Ferté-Saint-Aubin, Cognac, Arbois and Charolles. He contributed to some technical evolutions, such as for external prestressing, cable-stayed bridges and composite structures. Between January, 1994, and January, 1995, he worked as consultant for the Highways Direction at the Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées. Since February, 1995 he works as a private consultant. As such he developed the conceptual design of the Avignon viaducts for the French Railways (for the High Speed Train) and was later Michel VIRLOGEUX consultant of the French railways for its erection, and he leaded the control of the design of the Vasco de Gama Bridge for the Portuguese administration (GATTEL).
