About the Highway
Equipped with controlled access, smart tunnel and traffic management systems, the 52-kilometer highway keeps driving safety and comfort high at every point of the route.
Safe, Comfortable, and Uninterrupted Journey Experience
The Çeşmeli-Kızkalesi Highway is planned to create a more controlled alternative to the interstate, tourism, and logistics traffic concentrated on Mersin's western coastal axis. The approximately 52-kilometer line starts from the Çeşmeli area and extends westward toward Erdemli and Kızkalesi to support the transport corridor.
The highway provides all information users will need before traveling, including tunneled sections, connection arrangements, safe driving infrastructure, resting facilities, and toll systems under one roof. This page includes guides on route structure, speed and safety warnings, service areas, and toll rates.
