For one thing, there are geological structures on the canal route. When we consider natural sites, historical sites, underground water resources, pastures, some hesitations have occurred for the sites in the works of experts. Therefore, there was a need to address the route issue from the beginning. I do not want our citizens to be very hasty in this regard, they should not be disappointed. They should not think that 'There will be a channel here, let's attack here' or something. Then don't blame us, there is no route we have just announced. A number of routes fly in the air.

The amount of tunnels is 2015 kilometers in a year that we only completed at the end of 57. There are over 13 kilometers of tunnels in 400 years. Technology has also improved. You used to come down to the valley while you were on the road, you pass through a small bridge, you go to the mountain again, you come to the mountain, you salute and pass by. Now we come to the mountain, we pierce the mountain, we come to the valley, we make a bridge and cross the viaduct ”.

Preliminary work has started in the 3-storey tunnel. This is a big project; It has a diameter of 17 meters, the metro will pass, and the cars will pass, all in one. The tender for this does not happen immediately. Because it will cross the Bosphorus, it will first conduct route surveys, the ground on which it will pass must be rocky, very large soundings will be made. Drilling of station locations on land and sea will be done and geological surveys will be carried out. This will take 2 years. After 2 years, the route of this will emerge, after which the tender process will begin. A structure that connects the roads between the two bridges and the rail systems on the Asian and European sides.
