Daelim participated in the bid through a consortium with SK E&C and two Turkish local companies. The total contract amount is KRW 3.2 trillion. The four companies each had a 25% stake. They signed a formal execution agreement in Turkey on March 16 by establishing a business performing corporation. After the corporation manages construction and operations for 16 years and 2 months, they plan to turn over the bridge to the Turkish government.
