INFRASTRUCTURES WORLDWIDE: * Turkey - ** Australia

* Turkey - Construction of Ro-Ro port in Istanbul to ease city traffic
-- A harbor will be built for roll-on/roll-off (Ro-Ro) ships on the European side of Istanbul, which will help eliminate the number of semi-trailer trucks clogging up the streets and highways of the metropolis and ease traffic in the region... The Ro-Ro port, which will transport long-haul trucks from Istanbul’s southwestern Ambarlı district to Yalova’s Topçular district in the east of the Marmara Sea, will be constructed after the Environmental Impact Report (ÇED) for the project, which was presented to Istanbul’s Environment and Urbanization Directorate, is accepted...

Mr Gould said a toll price for heavy vehicles would be set after consultation with the industry, but he couldn't be any more specific than the indicative tolling levels that were based on the original modelling...
