Latest state of the new Antalya-Konya Highway at Eynif Plain captured

Following the heavy rainfall that affected Antalya approximately 10 days ago, some sections of the Konya-Antalya highway were submerged, and the road was closed to traffic for safety reasons. Authorities announced that the road platform was underwater due to the heavy rainfall and that the route was closed to traffic for the safety of drivers.

It was stated that water accumulation occurred in the region, particularly in low-lying areas, and therefore traffic flow could not be provided safely.

After transportation was halted, drivers were directed to alternative routes, and it was reported that traffic flow was diverted to the Akseki and Manavgat routes.

It was noted that the General Directorate of Highways teams are continuing their efforts without interruption to drain the water and reopen the road to traffic, and that any damage that may have occurred to the road surface will be examined in detail once the water has completely receded. It was stated that the water level on the part of the road near the Gembos Plain towards the Konya direction is still high.
