"One of the major stages for the 1915 Çanakkale Bridge is the wind tunnel test of this project. Three "Wind Tunnel Tests" were conducted for this project. The first test was performed in Canada and two other tests were performed in Denmark. Today we shall witness a wind tunnel test to be performed after 4 months of work. The data to be acquired as a result of the tests shall provide us important information for shaping this project."

The test was carried out at Southwest Jiatong University's laboratory, and testing for the behaviors of the towers and decks of the bridge under service conditions in a uniform and turbulent stream, at wind speeds of 20 meters per second, i.e. 72 km/h; 45.4 meters per second, i.e. 162 km/h; and 83 meters per second, i.e. 299 km/h.
