History

edit

On 15 February 2017 the tender to construct the motorway was awarded to a consortium of three companies, IC İçdaş, Kalyon and Astaldi. Like other otoyol projects in Turkey, the tender was awarded under a build-operate-transfer contract until 2027.[2] Groundbreaking for the highway took place on 5 April 2017 in a ceremony attended by Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım and Minister of Transport Ahmet Arslan. The US$408.2 million motorway was opened to traffic on 30 October 2019.[3][4]


The designation O-33 had previously been used for the Bursa Beltway, now designated as a part of the O-5 and O-22.[1]
