Working With 10 Thousands Workers

Özdemir reminded that the world will see the longest span and the highest towers bridge, "There is a 30,000 vehicle guarantee and it will not take long to reach this number, and the transit fee will be 15 euro + VAT (80 TL with current exchange rates). We will finish the project early in line with the spirit of the build-operate-transfer model, "he said. Ozdemir stating that the project is done with a thousand of workers, said: "Probably this number will be up to 10 thousand". Başar Arıoğlu, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Yapi Merkezi, stated that the demand from abroad was exceeded and he said that the canal between İstanbul and Çanakkale will be reduced to 2.5 hours when the motorways are completed. Arıoğlu said, "Land prices will double to 50 meters along the coast of the bridge. According to the analysis we have done for Deloitte, the contribution to the economy in 15 years will be 16 billion euros.''
