The construction of the 3rd Bridge in Istanbul has been completed, Marmaray serves without any problems. Completion of the construction has exceeded 3,5 percent in the highway project, which will reduce the Izmir-Istanbul to 50 hours. These are always big projects. Mr. Minister Binali Yıldırım will bring a necklace to İzmir with this project.
The two sides of Izmir will be connected. The project includes a tube tunnel similar to Marmaray and an artificial island with a Moon-Star motif. Of course, İzmir will have gained a new tourism area. In the past, İzmir was the second after Istanbul. We need to move İzmir to the second place again. The number of works that were started or completed in 60 projects, which we have prepared for İzmir, costing 35 billion liras, has reached 25. 10 of them are at the project stage. When all these projects take place in 2023, we will encounter a completely different Izmir. Our citizens of İzmir are worthy of the best and most beautiful of everything ”.
