Giant mole under the Bosphorus

Giant Mole Under the Bosphorus: Minister of Transport, Maritime Affairs and Communications Lütfi Elvan said that the installation of the giant mole with a height of 14 was completed at the Eurasian Tube Tunnel Project, which is described as the brother of the Marmaray Project.
Minister Elvan reminded that the Eurasian Tube Tunnel Project will be the sister of Marmaray, but only for road vehicles. 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.
Minister Elvan stated that they had made significant progress in the excavation works of the project, which cost over 2 billion liras, and that the progress in the excavations in the east is over 70. In the project, which will reduce the 100 minutes to 15 minutes between Kazlıçeşme-Göztepe, Minister Elvan said that the tunneling under the Bosphorus is about to begin drilling.
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
Stating that they will increase the coastal road between Cankurtaran and Kazlıçeşme within the scope of the project, Elvan stated that the work on the coastal road will start in the summer months. Underlining that the coastal road will not be closed during the works, Elvan said, 'We will make two lanes parallel to the coastal road. We will raise the standard of the road between Cankurtaran and Kazlıçeşme without cutting the coastal road, and the number of lanes will be increased. The Tunnel in question is Bostancı-Kadıköy Elvan pointed out that the vehicles between the tunnels will pass through Sirkeci-Yenikapı-Zeytinburnu and said that the 14,6-kilometer-long project will start at Florya-Sirkeci Coastal Road and end at Göztepe Junction of Ankara State Highway.
The world's 6 grand tunnel
Minister Elvan, under the project 8 pieces underpass, 10 pedestrian overpass and 4 pieces of the current intersection improvement will be done by specifying, ve outside the tunnel junction and approach roads will be transferred to the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality free of charge. Only the tunnel will be paid. The fee is planned to be Turkish Lira (4 USD + VAT). Considering that this tunnel will be the 6 biggest tunnel of the world; The fuel savings that it provides are even far above that value. Tunnel, as well as the significant reduction of bridge crossings will also greatly reduce the emission of exhaust emissions, T he said.
