Otoyol 33


Otoyol 33, named the Menemen-Aliağa-Çandarlı Motorway and abbreviated as the O-33 is a long toll motorway in western Turkey. Beginning at an intersection with İzmir Beltway, the O-33 runs north from Çiğli to Bergama and parallels the D550 for most of its route.

History

The first section of the motorway was opened to traffic on 1 June 2011 between Sasalı and Air base in Çiğli. On 9 May 2015, the section between Air base and Koyundere was opened to traffic. 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. 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 408.2 million motorway was opened to traffic on 30 October 2019.
