Drilling begins in the Eurasia Tube Tunnel Project: Lütfi Elvan, the Minister of Transport, Maritime Affairs and Communications, stated that the assembly of the 14-meter-high giant mole has been completed in the Eurasia Tube Tunnel Project, which is described as the brother of the Marmaray Project. we are starting to pierce. ”

Tunnel to serve the 90 thousand vehicles per day, one of which will be 2 floors, including one turn, Minister Elvan, "with the decrease in transportation time in the historical peninsula will be a significant reduction in air pollution and fuel consumption," he said.

Almanya Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) to be used in the project has been specially designed according to the ground conditions and pressure environment of the Bosphorus and it was built in Germany. This giant mole will dig the 3,4 from Haydarpaşa Port to Cankurtaran under the 106 meter of the Bosphorus. We have installed this giant machine with a weight of 1.500 tons and a length of 130 meter at a depth of 40 meters. This giant mole will dig about 10 meters per day and we will complete the excavation process in less than 1,5 years. Bu
Coast Road will not be closed
