Six of the world’s 10 megaprojects over the last decade took place or are taking place in Turkey, the nation’s prime minister said. “In the last 10 years, there have been 10 major projects in the world, despite the global economic crisis. I am glad to share with you that six of the 10 projects belong to Turkey,” Binali Yıldırım said in a speech in İstanbul.

The projects include the Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge, Marmaray Tunnel, Eurasia Tunnel, and the world’s largest airport -all in İstanbul- as well as the Gulf of İzmit’s Osmangazi Bridge and the İzmir highway.

TOTAL OF $65 MILLION IN MEGA PROJECTS

He added: “Almost all of these projects have been built through a public-private partnership, except for the Marmaray.” The total price tag of the projects is some $65 million, he said. On İstanbul’s new airport, expected to open next year, Prime Minister Yıldırım said that it had not been built out of desire for fame. “We read the future of the world,” he added. “This is the future of the world: the center of wealth is moving from the West to East.”

He said that the center of aviation had moved from America in the 1970s, to Western Europe in the 1980s, to Central Europe in the 1990s, and now Turkey is the center of aviation. “This is an enormous project with a 200 million-passenger capacity and six runways,” the prime minister added.

THE EURASIA TUNNEL

The Eurasia Tunnel, the first road tunnel constructed underneath the Bosphorus seabed, significantly reduces travel time between İstanbul’s Asian and European sides.

THE WORLD’S LARGEST SUSPENSION BRIDGE

The earthquake-resistant Osmangazi Bridge, the world’s largest suspension bridge, has a 2,682-meter structure. The bridge over Turkey’s Marmara Sea cuts travel times between İstanbul and the country’s western provinces and is part of the new six-lane İstanbul-İzmir highway.

THIRD BRIDGE ACROSS İSTANBUL’S BOSPHORUS

The 1,4-kilometer (0,9-mile) Yavuz Sultan Selim is the third bridge across İstanbul’s Bosphorus, and the world’s longest suspension rail bridge in its class.

MAKING ONE OF THE WORLD’S LARGEST TRANSPORTATION HUBS

The new airport in İstanbul - the only new airport planned and being constructed in Europe - will assume most passenger traffic from Atatürk International Airport. When it is completed in 2018, some 250 airlines are set to fly from the airport to more than 350 destinations, making it one of the world’s largest transportation hubs.

LONGEST SUSPENSION BRIDGE

Çanakkale 1915 Bridge, which will be the world’s longest suspension bridge when completed.

FROM ASIAN TO THE EUROPEAN SIDE IN UNDER FOUR MINUTES

The 13,6-km Marmaray Tunnel, built 60 m below sea level, has shortened the journey between the metropolitan city’s Asian and European sides to just four minutes.
