Berta Bridge is one of 4 large beam bridges that cross over sections of the reservoir behind the Deriner Dam in Northeast Turkey. The 438 kilometer Chorokhi (also Çoruh) River is one of the longest in Turkey with as many as 17 hydroelectric dams completed or planned along its length.
Berta Bridge is a cantilevered concrete 2-lane beam structure with a span configuration of 71.5+132+71.5 meters on piers as tall as 102 meters.
In addition to Berta Bridge the reservoir is also crossed by Akarsin, Sengan and Budan Bridges on the Artvin - Erzurum Road.
