Work continues on highways: Here are the roads closed to traffic and alternative routes

Turkey’s General Directorate of Highways (Karayolları Genel Müdürlüğü) has warned drivers that numerous routes nationwide are affected by construction, maintenance and repair work, with some roads fully closed to traffic and other sections operating under controlled two-way flow. The alert covers multiple corridors across the country rather than a single highway, and the directorate is directing motorists to use alternative güzergahs where closures are in place. The notice matters for freight and passenger transport planning because controlled-flow sections can slow journeys and add delays on key intercity routes. Drivers should check the directorate’s route-by-route list before departure and allow extra time, with conditions set to shift as work progresses.
