ISTANBUL, TURKEY - AUGUST 26: Citizens gather at ancient Yoros Castle, to watch the opening ceremony of newly constructed Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge, before its opening ceremony today in Boshporus, Istanbul, Turkey on August 26, 2016. Third bridge linking the European and Asian sides of Istanbul, the Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge -- which is located in Bosphorus and named after early 16th century Ottoman Sultan Selim I, whose rule marked the expansion of the burgeoning world power in the Middle East -- is projected to be the widest bridge in the world, measuring 60 meters in width and housing 8 motorway lanes.
