Came the Sariyer - Levent way this morning. They have closed the bridge off completely and diverted Sariyer - Levent traffic into a contraflow, using two lanes of the now widened Levent -Sariyer section. Both directions now only have two physical lanes, but each is wide enough for four lanes of Turkish traffic. Breathe in people, breathe in.
