President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who attended the opening of the Menemen-Aliaga-Çandarlı highway in Izmir, said the contribution of the giant project to our country would be 255 million pounds.
President Erdogan's remarks:
"It was a work befitting Izmir. A vehicle departing from Izmir will reach Çandarlı in 40 minutes. This is a continuation project of the ring roads. This highway will support rail projects with high-speed rail projects. Izmir's tourism potential will rise to a much higher level. It was planned so as not to damage historical and cultural artifacts. The contribution of this highway to our country as only labor force and fuel oil is calculated as 255 million TL. I would like to thank the institutions, companies, ministers, and engineers who contributed to the construction of this highway on behalf of my own and my nation.
"WE REDUCED THE DISTANCE BETWEEN ISTANBUL AND IZMIR TO 3.5 HOURS."
We are about to finish the construction of the Alsancak Stadium. We are bringing two-nation gardens to Izmir. We built sports facilities all over Izmir. We have provided 110 health facilities in our city, of which 35 are hospitals. Within the scope of urban transformation, we provided 228 million rent assistance support to Izmir residents. In the last 17 years, we have implemented 19 thousand 500 housing projects in Izmir through TOKI. We reduced the interval between Istanbul and Izmir to 3.5 hours and Bursa and Izmir to 1 hour. The construction of Izmir's high-speed rail line continues.
