Mustafa Kemal Coastal Boulevard  The Mustafa Kemal Coastal Boulevard () is a major thoroughfare in İzmir, Turkey. Consisting of six lanes, it stretches from Cumhuriyet Boulevard in Çankaya to the İzmir-Çeşme motorway in Üçkuyular, running along the southeastern coast of the Gulf of İzmir. The road was one of the city's first major projects at restructuring and improving İzmir's existing road network. The route was constructed upon reclaimed land, due to lack of space on the pre-existing coast, and built as a six-lane boulevard. Considered an urban extension of the Çeşme motorway, the Mustafa Kemal Coastal Boulevard was originally planned to continue north into Alsancak along the shore, then turn east and connect to the D.300 and D.550 state highways in Halkapınar. This part of the project was never built, due to public opposition, and the land originally reclaimed in Alsancak for the boulevard was converted into an esplanade. Mustafa Kemal Coastal Boulevard begins at an intersection with "Cumhuriyet" and "Fevzi Paşa" Boulevards in Çankaya. From there it diverges off the former path of Cumhuriyet Boulevard into Konak, which was converted into a pedestrian walkway, and heads southwest. It winds around government office buildings until passing under the "Konak Underpass", which unites the Konak shore park with Konak Square. After coming out of the underpass, the boulevard shares a trumpet interchange with Halil Rıfat Paşa Avenue and the Konak Tunnel. Following the interchange, the boulevard turns west and runs directly along the coast with the Konak Tram and a wide pedestrian walkway on its north side. An intersection with 303rd Street provides access to the inner Mithatpaşa Avenue, which parallels most of the boulevard. The boulevard then heads underground again at the "Mithatpaşa Underpass", passing under the 15 July Democracy Square. Following the underpass, the northbound tram track is on the south side of the route, which crosses the boulevard while it passes through the underpass. The route then slightly turns south until coming to central Göztepe, where it straightens west again. In Göztepe, the boulevard passes under the Güzelyalı Bridge.
