Article Abstract:
Turkey is building the $ 3 billion Marmaray project that will consist of 48 miles of new railroad, 37 rebuilt above ground train stations and 3 new underground train stations. The discovery of the ancient port of Constantinople just above the proposed underground station presents a dilemma to the tunnel's engineers as well as the tunnel's location just 12 miles from the North Anatolian Fault.
