The Great Istanbul Tunnel (Шаблон:Lang-tr) is an under-construction multi-use highway and railway undersea tunnel in Istanbul, Turkey to cross the Bosphorus strait. It will be the third and the longest tunnel crossing the Bosphorus strait, at a length of 6.5 km, surpassing the Eurasia Tunnel at 5.4 km and the Marmaray Tunnel at 13.5 km.

Project

The project was officially announced by Prime minister Ahmet Davutoğlu on 27 February 2015. The tunnel, Шаблон:Convert in length and Шаблон:Convert in diameter, will consist of three levels, two levels for road traffic and one level for metro lines. It will be Шаблон:Convert under the sea level. Situated between Gayrettepe on the European side and Küçüksu on the Asian side, it will integrate the highways between the three airports of the city, Istanbul Atatürk Airport, Sabiha Gökçen Airport, Istanbul Airport, and the nine metro lines of the Istanbul Metro. The cost of the project will amount to US$3.5 billion. The financing of the construction will be on the build–operate–transfer basis.

Construction

The RV Fugro Scout, a Singapore-flagged research/survey vessel of Шаблон:Cvt length and Шаблон:Cvt beam, started soil survey works in Bosphorus on 28 July 2017 in order to determine the exact tunnel route. Construction began in 2018, and was expected to be completed by 2023. Due to some issues in land acquisition, the project is now expected to be completed by 2028.
