Once the project is completed, Istanbulites will be able to cover the whole route running 31 thousand meters in just 40 minutes. Furthermore, the project will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 115 thousand tons. The underground system to run through the line is intended to carry 1.5 million passengers each day. The project which is currently in the tender and system construction model selection stage is projected to be completed by 2020.

TWO STRAITS TO RUN THROUGH ISTANBUL

The Bosphorus, which connects the Black Sea and Marmara Sea, providing a strategic outlet to the Aegean and the Mediterranean, will be doubled through the Channel Istanbul project. The project to be built on the European side of Istanbul will make it a city with two straits.The width of the 40 km long and 24 m deep channel will be 200 meters. The project will help transfer some of the busy traffic of the Bosphorus, to the new strait.

GLOBAL LEADERSHIP IN AIR TRAVEL

The 3rd Airport to become a global leader upon completion, with a passenger capacity of 150 million, will be built on an area of 76 million square meters. The airport is to be completed in 4 stages.
