Arup joined clients Yapi Merkezi İnşaat Ve Sanayi A.Ş and SK Engineering & Construction Co. Ltd. to celebrate the official opening of the Eurasia Tunnel to the public.
Also known as the Istanbul Strait Road Tube Crossing, the 5.4km long crossing, which includes 3.4km of twin-decked road running beneath the Bosphorus seabed along with 9.2km of approach road improvements on both sides of the Bosphorus, will connect two continents and the European and Asian sides of Istanbul, Turkey.
Arup has been working on the award-winning project since 2009 providing technical advisory, environmental monitoring and traffic audit services to the institutions funding the project during the procurement and construction stages.
