Finally, Turkish President Erdogan is promoting something both civilized and beneficial to Turkey and the general area.
$13.50 is a lot of cash just to drive across, but I guess they have to earning that construction money back in one way or another.

This is quite a historic accomplishment. For thousands of years the Dardanelles have been a center point of world history. For all those centuries the only way to cross was by boat.

This was the area of the Trojan Wars. It was where Xerxes launched the Persian invasion of Greece, and then where Alexander the Great defeated the Persians a century later and destroyed their empire. It was the area of the Gallipoli campaign that the bridge is named after.
