The Turkish Railways Authority and General Directorate of Highways plan to build more than US$100 billion worth of highway and railway lines in Turkey between now and 2023, while international consortia have already begun working on major projects such as the Eurasian Tunnel and the third Bridge on the Bosphorus.  The next wave of projects which are expected to be offered before 2015 includes Channel Istanbul and Canakkale Bridge.
