Turkish transportation minister has said the government was set to receive initial bids in August for a planned third bridge that would connect the Asian and the European sides of Istanbul.

“We will receive the bids for the Third Bosphorus Bridge and the Northern Marmara Project on August 3 under a build-operate-transfer model,” Mehmet Habib Soluk told reporters during a visit to the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.

The third bridge will be located at the northern end of the Bosphorus, north of the other two bridges, in Istanbul. The bridge will be located between Garipce (on the European side) and Poyrazkoy (on the Asian side).

The third bridge, planned as a 1,275-meter suspension bridge, will be built between Garipce in the European side of the city, and Poyraz in the Asian side.
