Otoyol 6 (English: Motorway 6), named the Kınalı-Balıkesir Motorway (Turkish: Kınalı-Balıkesir Otoyolu) and abbreviated as O-6, is a planned 321-kilometer-long (199 mi) toll motorway in Turkey, with an 82 km (51 mi) section between Malkara and Lapseki open to traffic. When complete, the route will begin at Kınalı, travel south to Çanakkale, cross the Dardanelles via the 1915 Çanakkale Bridge, and terminate at Balıkesir; connecting western Anatolia with East Thrace. The route is the first motorway in Turkey outside of Istanbul to connect the European and the Asian parts of the country.
History
Construction started on 18 March 2017 in Çanakkale, on the 102nd anniversary of the Turkish naval victory during the Dardanelles Campaign of World War I.[1] The Malkara-Lapseki section (~90 km), including the 1915 Çanakkale Bridge, was opened on 18 March 2022.[2][3]
