Otoyol 5 near Altınova exit
Otoyol 5 (English: Motorway 5), named the Gebze-Orhangazi-Izmir Motorway (Turkish: Gebze-Orhangazi-İzmir Otoyolu) and abbreviated as O-5, is a partially completed toll motorway in Turkey. When completed in 2019, it will connect the Istanbul metropolitan area with İzmir, via Bursa and Balıkesir. The O-5 will run parallel to the D575 and the D565 for most of its length and will be a major motorway in Turkey as it will provide a direct connection between Istanbul and its surrounding metropolis to the country's 3rd largest (İzmir) and 4th largest (Bursa) cities, bypassing the Izmit Bay via the İzmit Bay Bridge. The O-5 will also make up part of the International E-road network E881.
The western part of the Bursa Beltway (formerly known as Otoyol 33), which is part of the O-5, was completed during the 2000s. The rest of the O-5 has been under construction since the early 2010s, with the first portion opened from Altinova to Gemlik in April 2016. As of April 2017, the O-5 is open in two separate sections: the 105.5 km (65.6 mi) section from its northern terminus in Gebze to Bursa, across the Osman Gazi Bridge along with a 18.2 km (11.3 mi) section from Kemalpaşa to its southern terminus in Izmir.
The O-5 is the most expensive toll motorway in Turkey as the price for a personal vehicle from Gebze to Bursa 79.5 km (49.4 mi), via the Izmit Bay Bridge costs 
91.65 (US$ 22.66).
