by Lisa Zyga, January 10, 2008
Turkey is in the midst of building a rail tunnel that will connect Asia and Europe through the Bosporous Strait. Of the total 13.5 km of the tunnel length, 1.5 km will be submerged as deep as 180 feet under the water. Turkish Transportation Minister Binali Yildirim recently announced that work on the tunnel, which began in 2004, should be completed by 2011."
