The Kınalı-Tekirdağ-Çanakkale-Balıkesir Motorway (Turkish: Kınalı-Tekirdağ-Çanakkale-Balıkesir Otoyolu) is a planned 321-kilometre-long (199 mi) motorway, with an 82 km (51 mi) section between Malkara and Çanakkale under construction. When complete, the route will cross the Dardanelles via the Çanakkale 1915 Bridge, connecting western Anatolia with East Thrace. The route will be the first motorway in Turkey outside of Istanbul to connect the European and the Asian parts of the country.

Construction started on 18 March 2017 in Çanakkale, on the 102nd anniversary of the Turkish naval victory during the Dardanelles Campaign of World War I.[1] The Malkara-Lapseki section (~90 km), including the Çanakkale 1915 Bridge, was opened on March 18, 2022.[2][3]
