Turkish municipalities continue extensive road and infrastructure modernization projects across several regions.

In Kahramanmaraş, the Metropolitan Municipality is executing large-scale asphalt investments, including a 500 million TL project in Elbistan and completed earthquake-related repairs in Dulkadiroğlu. In Istanbul, the İBB recently completed a massive summer asphalt program, while İzmir has renewed 267 kilometers of roads.

Recent developments include:

In Ayvalık, residents of the Sahilkent neighborhood are requesting the relocation of a wastewater treatment plant due to odor and health concerns, offering to contribute to the costs of moving the facility. Additionally, authorities in Turanköy are addressing complaints regarding a private camping business involving sewage discharge and beach encroachment.
