Tenders for construction of connecting roads for Istanbul's third bridge over the Bosporus have been postponed for the fourth time.

A tender for the Kurtkoy-Akyazi motorway tender will be held on March 1 next year with that for the Kinali-Odayeri road will be held a week later, the Dünya Gazetesi newspaper reported.

The tenders will be held as part of the 260km North Marmara Motorway project that includes the soon to be completed Yavus Sultan Selim Bridge.

Completion of the connecting roads is planned for the end of 2018.

The tender for the North Marmara Motorway was originally set for 6th March 2015 but was then pushed back to the May 6, World Highways reported in July. It was then announced that the tender would be run in two stages, with the Kinali-Odayeri motorway tender on July 7 and the Kurtkoy-Akyazi motorway on June 30.

Construction of the bridge is, however, proceeding well, as World Highways %$Linker: 2 Internal <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?><dictionary /> 2 22478 0 oLinkExternal reported in July Visit &quot;Delay for tender for link roads to istanbulsnew bosporus bridge&quot; page false /categories/auctions-equipment-supply-servicing-finance/news/delay-for-tender-for-link-roads-to-istanbuls-new-bosporus-bridge/ false false%>.

The bus, from the southern city of Reading, was converted to run on compressed methane from cow manure and was painted black and white like a Friesian cow. Mechanics removed the bus’s engine governor that restricted the vehicle’s speed to 90km/h. The bus then broke the record on the banked high-speed circuit at Millbrook Proving Ground, near the city of Bedford.
