Designed by the Swiss engineer Jean-François Klein (project leader) and by the French structural engineer Michel Virlogeux from T-ingénierie, the bridge is a combined road-rail bridge. It carries four motorway lanes and one railway line in each direction.
The construction of the 3rd Bosphorus Bridge, which was commissioned in 2013 and completed in 2016, was named after the ninth Ottoman sultan and the first Ottoman Selim I. Selim.
