The Göztepe Şehit Kerem Oğuz Erbay Overpass ( Turkish: Göztepe Şehit Kerem Oğuz Erbay Üstgeçidi), commonly known as Güzelyalı Bridge ( Turkish: Güzelyalı Köprüsü) or just the Bridge Turkish: Köprü), is a 125 m (410 ft) long cable-stayed bridge in İzmir, Turkey. Located in southwest Konak, the bridge is a pedestrian overpass that crosses the Mustafa Kemal Coastal Boulevard. Opened in October 1997, the overpass has become a symbol of Göztepe and its surrounding neighborhoods. ^[1]

Güzelyalı Bridge was renamed to its current name in 2010, after the death of Private Kerem Oğuz Erbay in a terrorist attack in İskenderun. A large ceremony was held on the bridge for Erbay and Private Serhat Aslan, both İzmir natives, who died in the attack. ^{[1] [2]}
