The Boğsak Tunnel is a road tunnel located in Silifke, Mersin Province in southern Turkey as part of the highway D.400. The highway D.400 is the main route running all the way from west to east in southern Turkey. Toros Mountains, which run in parallel to Mediterranean Sea coast, are to the north of the highway. The mountain range meets occasionally the sea with a high-sloped coast. Particularly, the 487 km (303 mi) portion of the highway connecting the two major Mediterranean ports of Antalya and Mersin is known for its steep ramps and sharp curves in the mountainous area. One of the most problematic courses up to date was a 5 km (3.1 mi)-course between Boğsak in the east and Akdere in the west, which was called the Çile yolu (literally: Road of ordeal) by the drivers.

  • The Boğsak Tunnel is a road tunnel located in Silifke, Mersin Province in southern Turkey as part of the highway D.400. The highway D.400 is the main route running all the way from west to east in southern Turkey. Toros Mountains, which run in parallel to Mediterranean Sea coast, are to the north of the highway. The mountain range meets occasionally the sea with a high-sloped coast. Particularly, the 487 km (303 mi) portion of the highway connecting the two major Mediterranean ports of Antalya and Mersin is known for its steep ramps and sharp curves in the mountainous area. One of the most problematic courses up to date was a 5 km (3.1 mi)-course between Boğsak in the east and Akdere in the west, which was called the Çile yolu (literally: Road of ordeal) by the drivers. The tunnel was constructed to ease the traffic in this course. It was opened on 18 March 2014. After the construction of the tunnel, the ramps were avoided and the length of the highway reduced by about 3.7 km (2.3 mi). Construction of 22 other tunnels with a total distance of 18 km (11 mi) is planned to reduce the average travel time from 9 to 5 hours between Antalya and Mersin. It is a 1,570 m (0.98 mi)-long twin-tube tunnel carrying two lanes of traffic in each direction. The tubes are 8 m (26 ft) wide. The tunnel is equipped with illumination, ventilation, intercommunication and other modern facilities. The construction of the tunnel cost ₺65 million. (en)
  • Le tunnel de Boğsak (Boğsak Tüneli en turc) est un tunnel routier situé à Silifke, dans la province de Mersin, dans le sud de la Turquie. Il fait partie de la (en). La route nationale 400 est la principale route allant de l'est à l'ouest dans le sud de la Turquie. La chaîne des monts Taurus, qui s'étend parallèlement à la côte méditerranéenne, se trouve au nord de la route. Les montagnes rencontrent parfois la mer en formant une côte à pente abrupte. Plus particulièrement, la section de 487 kilomètres reliant les deux ports méditerranéens d'Antalya et de Mersin comporte un chemin sinueux avec d'importantes pentes dans une zone montagneuse. L'une des plus grandes difficultés sur le trajet de cette route est un tronçon de 5 kilomètres entre à l'est et à l'ouest, qui était surnommé Çile yolu (« la route du calvaire ») par les automobilistes. Le tunnel a été construit afin de faciliter le trajet sur cette route. Il est ouvert le 18 mars 2014. Grâce à la construction du tunnel, les pentes dangereuses sont évitées et la longueur de la route nationale 400 est réduite de 3,7 km. La construction de 22 autres tunnels d'une distance totale de 18 km est prévue pour faire passer le temps moyen de trajet entre Antalya et Mersine de 9 à 5 heures. (fr)
