Turkish Highways Directorate General opened Wednesday a tender for construction of Gebze-Orhangazi-Izmir highway, including Izmit Gulf transition.

Within the framework of the project, an Izmit suspension bridge and by-ways will also be constructed. The directorate general had opened two international tenders for construction of the suspension bridge so far, however the tenders were cancelled.

The tender will take place in Ankara on October 7, 2008 through sealed bid method.

Turkish and foreign companies and consortia are expected to join the tender. Among them are Italian, Japanese, German, British, U.S. and French companies.

The Gebze-Orhangazi-Izmir highway will be 420-kilometers long and it will link western province of Izmir with Gebze town of northwestern province of Kocaeli, whereas the suspension bridge will be 3,000 meters long.
