Another lane of the Fatih Sultan Mehmet (FSM) Bridge will be closed down as of July 25, daily Hürriyet reported.
 
The changes will raise the number of lanes shut down on the bridge to three, further straining Istanbul’s already-heavy traffic. Alternative transportation methods, such as increased sea transport and more buses, will be offered to ease drivers' troubles during the repair work, according to officials.
 
The lane in question will be reopened on July 27 at midnight.
