Infrastructure and road repairs in Ordu

Overview

Infrastructure projects are underway in the Akkuş district of Ordu to improve regional transportation. Initially, the Ordu Metropolitan Municipality began concrete road construction on a section of the Akkuş Salman-Seferli group road to enhance safety and comfort for rural neighborhoods.

Following a major landslide in February 2026 caused by heavy rainfall, repair efforts have expanded to the Ünye-Akkuş-Niksar highway. This landslide destroyed retaining walls and washed away road sections, disrupting the connection between the Black Sea region and Central Anatolia. Stabilization efforts, including drilled shaft operations, have commenced with an estimated eight-month timeline, though officials aim to expedite repairs to assist residents during the hazelnut harvesting season.
