The Sakarya Viaduct (Turkish: Sakarya Viyadüğü) is a 2,233 m (7,326 ft) long railway bridge carrying the Ankara-Istanbul high-speed railway across the Sakarya River and its adjacent plain approximately 15 km (9.3 mi) west of Polatlı, Turkey. The bridge is the third longest bridge in Turkey after the Osman Gazi Bridge and the Mount Bolu Viaducts as well as the longest railway bridge in the country.
