The Honaz Tunnel, which connects the Aegean and the Mediterranean, opens

 

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who will be in Denizli on Saturday, January 28, for a series of programs and a mass opening ceremony, will attend the mass opening ceremony at 13.00 on 29 Ekim Bulvarı Özay Gönlüm Square. President Erdoğan will open a total of 232 facilities, including investments by the government, Denizli Metropolitan Municipality and district municipalities. With the commissioning of the project, vehicles that will go to Antalya and Muğla from İzmir, Aydın and Pamukkale, and Uşak and Ankara routes will not have to enter Denizli city centre. Travel time will be reduced from 45 to 15 minutes with the Honaz Tunnel and Ring Road connecting the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas. The 2,640 m tunnel and 32 km ring road, one of the largest in the Aegean, will save time and fuel.
