A landslide that occurred around 03:15 at night in the Kıyıcık area of Artvin's Arhavi district caused the Black Sea Coastal Road to be closed to traffic.
Work began with the first light of day on the highway, where traffic had been closed in both directions due to massive masses of soil and rock that broke off from the slope due to the landslide.
Following intensive work by heavy machinery in the landslide clearing operations initiated from both points in the Fındıklı district of Rize and the Arhavi district of Artvin, a 200-meter area was cleared of soil and rock piles, and the road was reopened to single-lane traffic after 19 hours.
