Turkey's highway network now totals 3,726km, with further developments to come. One of the key projects to go ahead will be the development of a stretch for the Northern Marmara Highway (NMH), an important 438km route connecting Europe and Asia.
Costing an estimated US$1.5 billion, the NMH project will include 31km of highway, a 1.6km bridge, access roads, 11 intersections, 19 underpasses, and 17 overpasses. A South Korean consortium, the Korea Expressway Corporation, will handle the work, with funding from Korea Infrastructure Asset Management (KIAMCO) and the Korea Overseas Infrastructure & Urban Development Corporation (KIND).
