Location of Eurasia Tunnel in İstanbul, Turkey.
The Eurasia Tunnel (Turkish: Avrasya Tüneli) is a road tunnel in Istanbul, Turkey, crossing underneath the Bosphorus strait. The tunnel was officially opened on 20 December 2016[4][5][6] and opened to traffic on 22 December 2016.
The 5.4 km (3.4 mi) double-deck tunnel connects Kumkapı on the European part and Koşuyolu, Kadıköy, on the Anatolian part of Istanbul[7] with a 14.6 km (9.1 mi) route including the tunnel approach roads.[8] It crosses the Bosphorus beneath the seabed at a maximum depth of −106 m (348 ft).[9][10][11] It is about 1 km (0.62 mi) south of the undersea railway tunnel Marmaray, which was opened on 29 October 2013.[12] The journey between the two continents takes about 5 minutes.[4][8][10][13] Toll is collected in both directions; since February 2020, ₺36.40 (about $4 US) for cars and ₺54.70 ($6 US) for minibuses.[14] In February 2021 the toll increased by 26% to ₺46 (approx. $6.20) and ₺69 (~$9.30) respectively.[15]
