Homeros Boulevard
Homeros Boulevard is a partially completed thoroughfare in İzmir, Turkey. The route is planned to be an long "express route" connecting central Konak to the İzmir Coach Terminal in south Bornova, as well as the O-5 and O-30 motorways. The first section of the boulevard, a long section in northwest Buca, opened on 14 December 2013 with an official ceremony. The boulevard was then named Homeros Boulevard after the legendary ancient author who once lived in western Anatolia.
The boulevard starts at the east end of the Konak Tunnel, at a junction with the D.300/D.550 highway, and heads east. This part of the boulevard is elevated on a viaduct that crosses the Meles creek and the İzmir-Eğirdir railway, as well as Menderes Avenue, until joining Onat Avenue at a roundabout intersection. The route was nicknamed flying road since the viaduct reaches a maximum height of.
The rest of the boulevard is under construction and will pass through the long Buca-Bornova Tunnel.Pictures
