In the next four years, the government plans to open a new road bridge over the Bosphorus, and two tunnels beneath it.

It inaugurated an airport terminal a week ago, and it opened a bridge in Podgorica, the capital, that spans the Moraca river.

The bridge was opened in 1887 and built on the foundations of a Georgian bridge that had to be replaced after structural problems caused in part by the huge crowds that gathered on it to watch early races.
