The Kınalı-Tekirdağ-Çanakkale-Balıkesir Motorway (Turkish: Kınalı-Tekirdağ-Çanakkale-Balıkesir Otoyolu) is a planned motorway, with a 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 first motorway in Turkey to connect Europe and Asia, outside of Istanbul.
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. The entire motorway is expected to open in 2023.
