Turkey opens third Istanbul bridge linking Europe with Asia

Turkey has opened one of the world's largest bridges, designed to allow traffic to cross the Bosphorus Strait between Europe and Asia and ease congestion in Istanbul.

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan oversaw a ceremony on Friday inaugurating the £2.3 billion Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge, which is described by its Turkish-Italian developers as the world's broadest suspension bridge at 58.4 metres (192 feet) wide.
