The Dardanelles have always been strategically important for Turkey which we know from historical events. It connects the Sea of Marmara to the Aegean Sea and then the Mediterranean. Its name comes from the ancient city Dardanellia located nearby. Along with the Bosporus, these straits serve as the border between Europe and Asia. Despite its significance, the continents were previously connected by just 3 bridges and two tunnels across the Bosporus, and they were all in Istanbul which cause large traffic jams both on land and at sea. The new suspension bridge motorway is 15,118 feet long and was opened on March 18, 2022, which connected Europe and Asia at the Dardanelles for the first time.
