The Eurasia Tunnel Project will be constructed between Kazlıçeşme and Göztepe along a 14.6-km route including a 5.4-km twin-deck tunnel that will cross the Bosphorus beneath the seabed, with the aim to alleviate İstanbul’s traffic pressure.
The Eurasia Tunnel is designed to ease the present cross continental traffic burden providing an alternative road link to traverse the Bosphorus at about 1 km south of Marmaray, which is currently being constructed. With this new route, the journey time between Kazlıçeşme and Göztepe will be considerably shortened. The Project will also provide important economic benefits such as ease of transport, reduced journey times and increased safety with additional benefits such as reductions in fuel consumption as well as greenhouse gasses and other emissions and noise pollution.
