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.

Highway maintenance continues to cause widespread traffic disruptions. Recent updates from the General Directorate of Highways highlight several critical areas:

• Osmangazi Bridge: Lane transfers on the Gebze-Orhangazi-İzmir Highway have resulted in two-way traffic due to the “29 October Osman Gazi Republic Run.” • Ankara and surrounding routes: Construction on the Çankırı-Ankara road has closed the Çankırı direction, rerouting traffic via the old road through Suleymanli Village. On the Ankara-Konya road, the Konya-Ankara direction is closed between kilometers 28 and 31, while traffic between kilometers 36 and 41 is restricted to a single lane. Additionally, two lanes are closed at Hacilar Junction on the Ankara-Niğde Motorway for superstructure repairs. • Motorways and major roads: The O-3 Motorway is experiencing lane narrowing near the Karasu Viaduct. On the İzmir-Aydın Motorway, the right and emergency lanes are closed at Kizilcakoy Bridge. The Bursa Ring Motorway has seen closures in the İzmir-Ankara direction near Bursa-Yildirim junctions. The Çanakkale-Ezine-Ayvacık road has closed the Çanakkale-Ezine direction, necessitating two-way travel from the opposite side. • Other regions: Traffic is being managed through divided highway sections on the Niğde-Kayseri road, while bridge maintenance on the Samsun-Ordu road has diverted traffic to lower roads. Ongoing works also affect the Göksun-Elbistan, Mecitözü-Amasya, and Seydişehir-Akseki roads.
