With the direct connection to Hadımköy (Nakkaş) - Başakşehir highway, which will be started in the near future, a new transportation axis will be created between the 7nd Ring Road and settlements such as Başakşehir, Bahçeşehir, Kayaşehir and the industrial areas in this vicinity. In the Northern Marmara Region, the main transportation arteries in the east-west direction are separated from the regional traffic and the intercity and international traffic passing through the region, thereby increasing the service quality and safety in transportation. Thus, transportation from Istanbul to Kocaeli and Sakarya provinces with dense industrial and industrial areas will be easier, and the travel time between Istanbul and Ankara will be shortened. "
