    the photo you added after the edit is Bosporus Canal, which is a natural waterway, but there is a man made project (Istanbul Canal) underway because Bosporus is a huge bottleneck, which also falls into the area of the red circle of your original post.

    Also note that Turkey just started the construction of a canal between the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara. .... six bridges; 45 kilometres long; 21 metres deep; 30 times safer than the Bosphorus; 90 percent less traffic; six years of construction; a $15 billion budget…
