The tender process is being opened for a new bridge across the Bosporus in Turkey. 1363 Turkey's Ministry of Transport is running the tender for the project. This would be the third bridge to span the Bosporus and would help improve transport links between Asia and Europe. At present, there are heavy traffic volumes resulting in congestion at peak periods. The plan also calls for the construction of a new highway called Kuzey Marmara Otoyolu (North Marmara highway). The estimated cost of the project has not been revealed at this stage and nor has the financing model through which the bridge and highway will be delivered.
