The project is based on a Build-Operate-Transfer model and consists of three sections: Odayeri-Paşaköy, Kurtkoy-Akyazi and Kinali-Odayeri. It’s total lenght is 398 km.
The Odayeri-Pasakoy Section is 148 km long and consists of 102 km motorway and 46 km connection roads. This section contains the 1408 m long Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge (bridges of this length are numbered in the world), 2 tunnels with a total length of 2389 m, 35 viaducts of 13.5 km length, 1 ecological bridge and outdoor structures of varying sizes and length.
The Kurtkoy-Akyazı section consists of 122 km 2x4 lane motorway and 48 km connection roads. It has a total length of 170 km. The section contains 5 2x4 tunnels, 16 viaducts, 90 bridges, other outdoor structures and 3 maintenance operation centres.
The Kinali-Odayeri section is 80 km long and consists of 70 km motorway and 10 km connection roads. It contains 3 2x4 tunnels, 14 viaducts, 37 bridges, 1 maintenance operation centre and other outdoor structures.
When all the sections of the Northern Marmara Motorway are completed it will join the Istanbul-Izmir Motorway which connects the Marmara region, Aegean region and Central Anatolian regions, making it easier to reach various destinations.
With a section area of 228 m² the 4 lane Riva and Camlik tunnels are the widest motorway tunnels in Europe. For this reason the excavation and retaining work was completed in 6 different stages. The tunnels are equipped with an Automatic Detection System to provide safety for the road inside the tunnel, the driver and the tunnel.

“During the three years, the work of reviewing nearly 30,000 drawings and reports in terms of their compliance with accepted standards, at the same time physically following up the work on site and reporting to the Authority is as difficult as the construction itself. As a team we are deservedly proud of our success.”
