The final part of this connection, about 1.5 kilometers long, will be realized using the micro-tunnel technology, said the message.
"The excavation will be carried out at 16 meters below the beach and therefore there will be no interference with what is happening on the surface, nor will there be any limitation of access to those areas for citizens,” the consortium said.
TAP project, worth 4.5 billion euros, is one of the priority energy projects for the European Union (EU). The project envisages transportation of gas from Azerbaijan's Shah Deniz Stage 2 to the EU countries.
The project is currently in its construction phase, which started in 2016.
Once built, TAP will offer a direct and cost-effective transportation route opening up the vital Southern Gas Corridor, a 3,500-kilometer long gas value chain stretching from the Caspian Sea to Europe.
