Article is new enough and barely long enough. Sources appear to be PDFs in Turkish, which I can't read. Which source indicates the budget for its construction? Source #4 indicates 33.5 million in Google Translate. Article needs a bit of a copyedit and grammar cleanup: Turkish construction companies (...) f Bager and HCG is missing something - where I've marked it here as (...). "Non-existing" generally refers to fake, not destroyed objects. I'll probably clean it up myself. The hook is almost too long and also needs grammar cleanup. It is cited inline to reliable sources, though. QPQ is done. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 20:03, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

@Jo-Jo Eumerus: Thanks for your review and comment. I've removed ref #4 from the sentence, which caused confusion, and modified the budget cost figure. Ref #3 is accurate since the source is from the General Directorate of Highways (Turkey) (KGM), which was responsibke for the bridge's construction. I've fixed typo with (...), and reworded "non-existing" to "no more existing". The hook is with its length of 188 chars under the 200-chars limit. However, I'll welcome any alt suggestion. My apologize for grammar errors, and will be grateful for copyediting. CeeGee 03:06, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

I've proposed a somewhat cleaned up ALT hook, as well as done a grammar cleanup on the article. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 08:57, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

Turkey's fourth longest bridge... you don't say! E Eng 18:40, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

@EEng: Are you surprised? Yes, it certainly was the fourth longest bridge of the country as it was opened to the traffic. This fact also is sourced. It is not the case today, because two longer bridges were opened in 2016. This is for your information only. CeeGee 03:41, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

Look, isn't there something more interesting to say than that it was briefly the fourth-longest bridge in Turkey? E Eng 03:47, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

I hope I misunderstood your comment before. Maybe an ALT as following: CeeGee 04:02, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

ALT2: ... that the Ağın Bridge reestablished a road connection from Ağın to Elazığ forty years after they were disconnected by the creation of the Keban reservoir?

Anything about a flood is at least a bit of an attention-getter. E Eng 05:32, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

Renewing call for a new reviewer to check the hooks, including what is interesting and what isn't. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:34, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

This article is new enough and long enough. ALT2 (which I have tweaked) is interesting and acceptable and has an inline citation. The article is neutral and I am unfamiliar with Turkish so am unable to comment on copyright issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:30, 15 October 2016 (UTC)
