Its story
When the Atatürk Dam filled in 1992, the old bridge on the Kâhta–Siverek–Diyarbakır road was submerged, and for many years transport between the two shores was by ferry. Construction of the cable-stayed bridge, named after the nearby ancient city of Nissibi, began on 26 January 2012; it opened on 21 May 2015. The 610-meter-long bridge shortened the road between Adıyaman and Diyarbakır by about 40 km. The caravan and camping area on the Siverek side is a popular stop for those who want to watch the sunset by the lake.
