Bayraklı Tunnels (Turkish: Bayraklı Tünelleri), formerly Karşıyaka Tunnels, are two motorway tunnels in series located on the İzmir's northern beltway, motorway O-30 , in Bayraklı district between Karşıyaka and Bornova of Izmir Province, western Turkey.
The tunnels were built by Kutlutaş-Dillingham Consortium, and the construction completed on April 30, 1999.[1] However, the construction of the motorway lasted until 2007. Along with the motorway, the tunnels were opened to traffic on January 19, 2007.[2] The official opening took place in presence of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on February 4, 2007.[3]
Named initially Karşıyaka Tunnels, they were renamed later to Bayraklı Tunnels upon the request of the Bayraklı district's governor.[4] The 320 and 317 m (1,050 and 1,040 ft) (Bayraklı-1) and 1,865 and 1,876 m (6,119 and 6,155 ft)-long (Bayraklı-2) twin-tube tunnels carry three lanes of traffic in each direction. Dangerous goods carriers are not permitted to use the tunnel.[5] Instead, they have to use either of the given routes:
- Bornova exit-D550-Altınyol-Girne Boulevard-Karşıyaka Entry
- Bayraklı exit-street #1620/39-street #1620/41-street #1609-Kubilay avenue-Onur Neighbourhood Entry

320 and 317 m (1,050 and 1,040 ft) | İzmir |
