Work continues on the Izmit Bay Crossing Suspension Bridge, which is the fourth largest suspension bridge in the world with the largest span.
The Gebze-Orhangazi-İzmir (including the İzmit Bay Crossing and Connection Roads) Motorway Project, which is known as the Istanbul-Izmir Highway Project, will benefit most of the people with land and housing in the region.
ABOUT THE PROJECT
Gebze İzmir highway, which will reduce travel from Istanbul to Izmir from 9 hours to 3,5 hours, will change from transportation to tourism.
The total length of the 433 project, the length of the 10 project, is 2009 billion dollars. 29 was built with the Izmir Motorway Build Operate Transfer Model. The groundbreaking ceremony of the bridge was carried out on 2010 October XNUMX.
ROUTE OF IZMIR HIGHWAY
The starting point of the project is Gebze, passing the İzmit Bay, which is located between the highway Dilovasi and Herzegovina Cape, with the length of about 3 kilometers, passing through the viaducts on both sides, and connecting to Bursa Ring road with Orhangazi and Gemlik.
When the project is completed, the Izmit Bay Crossing Suspension Bridge will be one of the world's largest bridges.
After the existing Bursa ring road (Bursa - Karacabey), the new motorway will start again at the Junction junction and pass through the north of Susurluk and reach Balıkesir.
Subsequently, the highway, which runs from the west of Balıkesir to the south, passes through the towns of Savaştepe, Soma, Kırkağaç, to the west near Turgutlu, proceeds parallel to the İzmir - Uşak state road and finally connects to the Anatolian High School Junction on the İzmir Ring Road.
WHERE TO GO TO THE MINUTE?
When the transition times of the gulf according to transportation alternatives are evaluated; 1 hours pass by 20 hour, ferry pass by using the existing road with the bay 45 ~ 60 minutes; With the planned Gulf Pass (12 kilometer), the 6 will fall to the minute.
Bursa transportation, which is 2,5-3 hours from Istanbul, will decrease to 1 hour, İzmir transportation, which is 8-10 hours from Istanbul, will reach 3,5-4 hours and Eskişehir transportation will be 2-2,5 hours.
AREAS TO BE EVALUATED
Balıkesir and Manisa, which are located on the route, are expected to be the new attraction area of the industrial investments that have exceeded the regional capacity around Istanbul and Bursa.
The project, which will provide additional contribution to the developing industrialization of the Eskişehir-Bozüyük-Bilecik region, which is located around the route with the Manisa and Balıkesir provinces on the route, will also pave the way for new investments in this region.
Karamürsel, Dilovası, Körfez and Gebze districts, where the bridge that forms an aesthetic appearance with its illumination, became the center of attraction.
Housing prices and rents increased by approximately 15 to 25 in regions where the bridge will benefit. Regions are mostly demanded from Istanbul and Arabs.
On the other hand, while housing projects are continuing in İzmir, many big construction companies have set their eyes on Bursa and Gebze. For Gebze, its connection to Yalova, Bursa, Balıkesir, Manisa and İzmir will become easier. There will be significant growths in the Karamürsel-Yalova-Orhangazi axis, in the industrial and residential areas.
TOURISM AND HORIZONTAL
Tourists who come to Istanbul from all over the world, tourism professionals who want to attract to Izmir by using the advantage of a highway that will reduce the distance between the two cities to 3 hours are also hopeful for the project. Tourists coming to Istanbul will be able to reach İzmir, which is 3,5 hours away, within the scope of the tour. Or it will be much easier for tourists who want to come to Izmir and see Istanbul.
In this respect, the project is envisaged to contribute greatly to the economic vitality of the Marmara and Aegean Regions, where most of the country's economy is formed.
