The Third Bosphorus Bridge (Turkish: 3. Boğaziçi Köprüsü) is a planned suspension bridge located at the northern end of the Bosphorus, north of the other two bridges, in Istanbul, Turkey. The bridge will be located between Garipçe (on the European side) and Poyrazköy (on the Asian side).[1]

Land prices in the northern, less urbanized spaces on both sides of the Bosphorus are already soaring in expectation of an urbanization boom thanks to the new cross river connection, according to Ekumenopolis, a documentary film of 2010 about the area.[2] The green areas and wetlands in question are considered by some to be essential for Istanbul's ecologic and economic sustainability.
