Avrasya Tüneli

The Istanbul Strait Highway Tube Crossing Project, or as it is generally known, the Eurasia Tunnel, was laid in February 2011 and started service on December 20, 2016. The tunnel, which connects the Asian and European sides with a road tunnel passing under the sea floor, has a total route of 14.6 kilometers.

​

The 5.4-kilometer section of the project, a two-storey tunnel built under the seabed with a special technology, has significantly reduced the travel time in this area of Istanbul, where traffic is very dense, and also prevented noise pollution.

​

Special colors were produced for the Eurasia Tunnel Project, one of Turkey's most prestigious projects. We use 18 Magnetic brand barriers with all their sub-units. Our barriers, which feature a built-in Ethernet module that allows remote management and a special arm connection apparatus (Swing-Away Flange) that protects both the barrier itself and the hitting vehicle in case of any vehicle crash, are available at the entrances on both sides of the tunnel. The product was used to suit this distinguished project with high technology, with its very fast opening and closing feature and special LED lighting under the barrier arm.

In this valuable study, which has received many international awards such as ENR (Engineering News Record) magazine's "Best Project of 2016 Worldwide", "Best Environmental and Social Practice", "Innovation in the Field of Tunneling Systems, Maintenance and Renewal", Erben Control We are proud to be included.
