Tuzla Spit or Kosa Tuzla (Russian: 'Тузлинская коса', Коса Тузла, romanized: Tuzlinskaya kosa, Ukrainian: Коса Тузла)[1] was a long narrow peninsula or sandy spit in the eastern part of the Strait of Kerch which extended from Cape Tuzla[2] to the north-west in the direction of the city Kerch for almost 11 kilometres (6.8 mi).
History
[edit | edit source]In 1925, the spit was cut by a storm, forming Tuzla Island. The open-water channel between Tuzla Island and the Russian mainland where the spit had previously existed reached over a kilometer in width.
Tuzla Spit consisted of the Tuzla Island (Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found.) and two small islands on the Russian side (Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found. and Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found.), and a narrow sand bar connecting them all. The two small islands were re-connected to each other by the 2003 construction by Russia of the 4.1 km long Tuzla dam (Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found.).
The Tuzla Spit formed the southern shore of the Taman Bay; the northern shore is the Chushka Spit.
Crimean bridge
[edit | edit source]The remnants of the Tuzla Spit were utilized in the building of the Crimean Bridge.
