Beğendik Bridge

(

)

... 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)

Sourcing issues resolved. @CeeGee: I would still reword the hook though, because it is not clear what "longest span concrete balanced cantilever bridge" means. It can be simplified, at the very least, to something like
... that the Beğendik Bridge is the highest bridge and has the longest main span of any concrete balanced cantilever bridge in Turkey?
or even just
... that the Beğendik Bridge is the highest bridge in Turkey?

I agree with your first suggestion. It is better. Thanks. CeeGee 10:47, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
