Very dangerous to drive at the Gocek side with lanes going everywhere,at night a real nightmare.
 As said above a real lot of pressure
To make it free.

Has the new tunnel opened yet and is it free?

Have the road works around the tunnel and towards Dalaman finished yet?

We will be back in six weeks, time has flown by this summer or what we had for a summer.

Yes it is bad coming through at night still.  The new road coming out of the Dalaman side of the tunnel is running through the toll booth lanes, so I think they will still continue to charge, perhaps on the basis that it will remain a 'single' tunnel while they repair the old tunnel...as if they haven't made enough money from it since it opened ........robbing barks

Thanks for the update, will have to take it very easy driving from the airport. We arrive about 19.25hrs.

On Sunday all the new road markings were completed for the new tunnel including markings to the toll booths from the new tunnel, so opening looks very soon

The road looked nowhere near ready when we passed last Thursday. However things can move quickly sometimes  :)

I see the Gocek tunnel price, is going up to 3.50 lira, and then they are closing the old tunnel for repairs
and they are using the new one,

If memory serves me right it has been 3.50tl for a while.

I am open to correction.
