The connecting roads to the highways and bridges, which are the Gaziantep-Şanlıurfa, İzmir-Çeşme, İzmir-Aydın, and peripheral roads to the Boğaziçi and Fatih Sultan Mehmet bridges will also be included in the privatization package. The acquiring company will have the right to operate these highways and bridges and the accompanying facilities such as maintenance, supervision, toll centers and other facilities for 25 years.
