Traffic Density Will Be History on Çayırova Turgut Özal Bridge

Kocaeli Metropolitan Municipality, which breathes the city traffic with the bridges, roads and intersections it has built, continues to open new transportation networks. In this context, the Metropolitan is nearing the end of its "Turgut Özal Bridge Replication and Road Construction" work located on the TEM Connection Road in Çayırova district. In the project, which will prevent the accumulation of vehicles on the bridge, 32 beams with a length of 20 meters were placed on the three legs of the additional bridge before. After the beam assembly, the teams that poured the floor concrete on the floor and produced the insulation covered a significant distance in other works as well.

75 TONS OF ASPHALT LAUNCHED ON ADDITIONAL BRIDGE

Lastly, asphalt paving of the additional bridge was carried out in the ongoing works under the control of the Department of Science Affairs. In this context, 65 tons of wear layer asphalt was laid on the floor of the bridge, which is 10.75 meters long and 75 meters wide. Teams will manufacture auto guards, pedestrian guardrails and antivandalism fence systems in the coming days.

ROADS ARE EXPANDING ON 3 STREETS

Infrastructure and superstructure works continue on Turgut Özal Street, Tuna Street and Namık Kemal Street, which are planned to be expanded within the scope of the project. The streets, which will be turned into 2×2 roads and with the connection roads and intersections renewed in this context, will make it easier to enter and exit the Çayırova district with an additional bridge. When the project is completed, the road separating the Istanbul-Kocaeli provincial border on Turgut Özal Caddesi will be crossed over the highway with a new additional bridge and reconnected to Turgut Özal Avenue.
