Following the warnings issued yesterday, a yellow alert was issued for 17 cities, and heavy rainfall had affected many cities in the north of the country.

HIGHWAY CLOSED IN BARTIN!

In Bartın, the highway providing access to the İnkumu holiday resort was closed due to a creek overflowing as a result of heavy rainfall.

The heavy rainfall continuing in the city has negatively affected daily life.

The road providing access to the holiday resort was covered with water as a result of the Karasu Creek in the Boğaz area overflowing.

Many drivers turned back as approximately 100 meters of the road remained completely underwater.

Teams have initiated work with heavy machinery to reopen the road, which high-tonnage vehicles were struggling to pass through.

Bartın Deputy Mayor Sançar Biçer conducted an inspection in the area where gendarmerie teams have taken precautions.
