Otoyol 5 (English: Motorway 5), named the Kocaeli Gebze-Bursa-İzmir Motorway (Turkish: Kocaeli Gebze-Bursa-İzmir Otoyolu) and abbreviated as O-5, is a toll motorway in Turkey. Since being completed in 2019, it connects the Istanbul and Kocaeli metropolitan areas with İzmir, via Bursa and Balıkesir. The O-5 runs parallel to the D575 and the D565 for most of its length and is a major motorway in Turkey as it provides a direct connection between Kocaeli and its surrounding metropolis to the country's 3rd largest (İzmir) and 4th largest (Bursa) cities, bypassing the Gulf of İzmit via the Osman Gazi Bridge. The O-5 also makes up part of the International E-road network E881 thus making it one of the most extensive and expensive transport megaprojects. The western part of the Bursa Beltway, 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.
