Turkey has successfully completed a trial run of a rail tunnel
connecting Istanbul's European and Asian sides, the first of several
planned mega-projects in the country's largest city.
The 13.6km (8.5-mile) tunnel, including a 1.4km immersed tube – the deepest of its kind in the world at 56 metres – passes under the Bosphorus strait, the busy shipping channel linking the Marmara Sea to the Black Sea.
