TUR: O31 Aydın - Denizli opening (E87?)
« on: October 29, 2023, 03:13:09 am »
A 93km long section of the new motorway will be opened today: https://www.skyscrapercity.com/threads/430254/post-185915254

I don't know how E87 will be routed since it turns south in Denizli while the motorway is fully bypassing Denizli. E87 was not on the agenda for the recent UNECE meeting.

Edit: https://github.com/TravelMapping/HighwayData/pull/6928 (O31 only, keep topic open till E87 will be clarified)

E87 Aydın - Denizli was not mentioned at the meeting. I think that it's not relevant since the "overall reference" does not change with the new motorway.

[...] - Selçuk - Aydin - Denizli - Acipayam - [...]

Nonetheless, I don't know how E87 is routed through Denizli. At which exit does it leave the motorway? Keeping open....

I failed to find a driving video. I just found snippets:
E87 is signed at exit 11 westbound
E87 is signed at exit 14 westbound
E87 is not signed at exit 15 eastbound, and not exiting

E87 is obviously signed via the motorway now. Can we assume that E87 leaves it at exit 14 and continues on D585 through Denizli as it ever was?
Or is it likely that it should leave the motorway at exit 15* heading to D585 via the I20-09 dual carriageway? Is there any E road on a secondary I route?

*where the sign does not feature an E87 label?
