I have seen the construction when i was going to Istanbul on the highway last month, still a lot of work to do but the construction seems to go on fast, the connection to highway on Izmit side was almost finished.
A few days back minister said it will be opened in 2015 December... In 2015 June people will be able to pass the bridge on foot...
Also that bridge means $650 million saving per year...

Also İzmir-İstanbul takes about 9 hours currently with this bridge and highway it will take 3,5 hours only...

And with additional Çanakkale bridge it will be superb...
