During the summer months in our country, traffic congestion on state and provincial roads increases significantly. This congestion is even greater on road connections to provinces such as Mersin, which is also a tourist region. Along with the increase in traffic, there is also a significant increase in traffic accidents. The number of accidents, fatalities, and injuries, which are more frequent between May and October, peak during the summer months of July, August, and September when traffic is at its heaviest. The Çeşmeli-Erdemli-Silifke-Taşucu Highway Project Çeşmeli-Kızkalesi Section, which is expected to take most of the transit traffic on the existing state highway, will reduce the traffic congestion experienced on state highways during the summer months. Along with the project route, it will create an attractive alternative to existing state roads, offering transit, high-standard, comfortable, safe, and shorter travel times.
