North of Turkish Thrace (the area between Istanbul and Edirne) has really wonderful highway and ring roads network as you see at these photos. But South (Silivri-Tekirdağ-Keşan-İpsala) is not like this. But a new project is planned for South of Thrace (as North Marmara Motorway). So the connection with Greece of Istanbul-Salonica road will be complated...

^ Turkish highway infrastructure is excellent! There's 'around' 1,892 km of "red" roads (motorways), right? (according to CIA) But what's the length of "blue" roads (divided roads, expressways)? Looks a lot! They could as well be called motorways, if you ask me.

EDIT: oops, now that I clicked on it, I see!:D So 1,881 km of "red" roads and 8,459 km of "blue" roads on 1.1.2005. 10,340 km of at least 4-lane, divided motorways/expressways!! :O

Turkish, Italian PMs inaugurate major highway tunnel

ANKARA, Jan 23, 2007 (AFP) - Prime Ministers Romano Prodi of Italy and Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey on Tuesday inaugurated a 900-million-dollar (691-million-euro) highway tunnel that will reduce travel time between Ankara and Istanbul, Turkey's two biggest cities, by nearly one hour.

The tunnel that crossess the Bolu Mountains in northwestern Turkey is part of the Trans-European Motorway (TEM) and was built by the Italian company over 14 years.

It comprises a 27-kilometer (16.8-mile) motorway, a 2.9-kilometer (1.8-mile) six-lane tunnel, four viaducts and three bridges, which will reduce the average travel time between the capital and Istanbul, Turkey's largest city and industrial hub, from four and a half to three and a half hours.

Inauguration was delayed by several years after the authorities revised the project in 1999, when a powerful earthquake in nearby Izmit damaged the structure and increased safety concerns.

TEM is Turkey's busiest road and a major route between Europe and Asia.

"This tunnel, for which we pierced mountains, connects not only our cities but also brings Turkey closer to Italy and all of Europe," the Anatolia news agency quoted Erdogan as saying at the ceremony.

"It also strengthens our friendly ties with Italy," he said.

Prodi, who held talks with Turkish leaders in Ankara Monday, was scheduled to wrap up his two-day visit later in the day.

He urged Ankara to stick to the path of reform and its goal of European Union membership despite a partial suspension of accession talks, a sanction the bloc imposed in December following Turkey's refusal to grant trade privileges to EU member Cyprus.

It is certainly true that there are a number of beautifully contructed 6 lane motorways in Turkey with hardly any traffic on them. Definitely a case of future proofing.

Turkey has fabolous motorways and it's really pitty that we don't have somebody from Turkey here who could post us his own photos, i really miss it!

btw, i have noticed that there is not a lot of traffic on those motorways and i don't see a reason for 3x3, although it is really great to have a lot of 3x3 motorways! of course, i exclude motorways near large cities which are too crowded and 6x6 often wouldn't be enough. such a contrast!

It's surprising to see that most of turkish motorways are built in a six-lane standard. Much more convenient but I wonder if they will ever be fully utilized.

www.sercan.de

February 14th, 2008, 05:15 PM

i think its mostly 3 lane, because Turkey isn't a flat country. Its very hilly, so you need a extra lane for the slow trucks.
Another reason is the increasing number of cars in Turkey

I am also in favour of building 2x2 lanes outside urban areas. The money could be spent in other highway projects. With the constructions which will begin this year we'll have a completed highway network in Turkey.

ChrisZwolle

February 19th, 2008, 09:39 PM

Except for tunnels are the extra costs for a 3rd lane not very expensive. This way, Turkey can stay ahead of traffic jams in rural area's for a time. They did build 2x2 lane motorways in the Netherlands and Germany from then 1950's until the 1980's, which are now pretty congested, all wishing they had a 3rd lane from the start.

^^ Nope. It is not a motorway but motorway standard. All BlackSea Coastal Road is in that standard but not a highway/motorway.

These pics are from Blacksea Coastal Road, from Bolaman, Trabzon etc.

[QUOTE=System_Halted;19593078]
thank you, very nice pics.
i visit 2001 Trabzon and make the tour via Gerede and Samsun, a lot traffic 4 or 5 times more as the old E5 how i return via Erzincan, Sivas and Ankara.
Phantastic, but i know that the Turkish Goverment construct a lot of this Road-type (p.h. Ypsala-Tekirdag).
Nice, my next trip to Trabzon will be more easy :-)

^^ I know additional 2 asphalt lane on Adana Motorway. For each one side, 2 concrete and 2 asphalt lanes it has.

That's correct, between Tarsus and downtown Adana, the highway has 4X4 lanes.

But they're also counted as Highway. Don't confuse them with Motorways(Otoyol)

Hi Guys,

any news about the tunnels on the way from Koçaeli to Eskisehir? I always have to leave the highway and climb the mountains behind trucks. Guess the tunnels would save me at least one hour driving or even two but I have no updates.

I have been on road D400 from Antalya to Alanya. It ıs nıce 2+2 road wıth many petrol statıons and rest areas. Altough ıt ıs bumpy road and has at the grade level crossıngs...

Another interchange in D 400 is u/c on Manavgat east exit. It will connect Konya-Antalya.
