Turkey municipal services and highway maintenance updates

Overview

Since June, municipalities across Turkey have conducted extensive cleaning, safety, and infrastructure upgrade programs. These efforts have expanded from initial street cleaning and noise inspections to large-scale urban transformation, industrial development, and utility upgrades.

Recent developments in late August and early September 2026 show a focus on expanding municipal service capacities and managing significant logistical disruptions. In Onikişubat, the municipality has invested approximately 200 million TL to introduce 30 new service vehicles to support a population of 450,000 during earthquake reconstruction efforts. Similarly, Yüreğir Municipality has added four new vehicles to increase cleaning and field work efficiency.

Highway maintenance continues to cause widespread traffic disruptions. In Ankara, portions of the Kızılcahamam-Çerkeş road and the Gerede-Kızılcahamam-Çeltikçi junction are closed, while roadwork on the Ankara-Kahramankazan and Ankara-Kırıkkale routes has led to lane closures. Controlled blasting operations on the Ankara Ring Road result in brief, 15-minute total closures for traffic traveling between Konya and Istanbul.

On the TEM Highway, repairs at the Molla Gürani Viaduct involve nighttime lane changes, and asphalt work near the Gaziosmanpaşa Junction closes exit arms during late-night hours. New disruptions on the TEM Motorway include the closure of the Istanbul-bound direction between the İzmit East and Dilovası junctions due to superstructure repairs, diverting traffic to the D-100 highway. Additionally, lane reductions are expected on the Edirne West Junction-Gümüşova section during nighttime hours. Other regional works include lighting revisions on the İzmir-Çeşme Highway, tunnel automation in Trabzon, and lane closures on the İzmir Ring Road near the Kanal-2 Bridge.
