The new bridge. What's cool is that you can see the bridge deck being constructed outward from the shores of Asia and Europe.

The bridge will allow traffic - auto and rail - to avoid istanbul. It is a hybrid -- a cable-stayed suspension bridge.

Bizarrely, the Turkish government has officially named the bridge after Yavuz Sultan Selim -- a divisive figure.
