Korgun–Kurşunlu Road Opens to Traffic

The Korgun–Kurşunlu road in Çankırı, which we have been building since 2017, opened to traffic at a ceremony attended by Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Abdulkadir Uraloğlu and Director General of Highways Ahmet Gülşen.

Along the 29 km route we widened the road platform from 6–7 meters to 12 meters and shortened the road by 2 km, cutting travel time between the two districts from 45 minutes to 24. The interchange at Kurşunlu, three bridges and the corrugated steel tunnel beneath the railway were the most demanding parts of the job. We secured the steep slopes with 66,000 square meters of steel mesh.

We thank all our colleagues who worked on building the road.

Şanlıurfa Azerbaycan Boulevard Interchange Opens

The Azerbaycan Boulevard Grade-Separated Interchange in Karaköprü, Şanlıurfa, which we were contracted to build, entered service at a multi-project opening ceremony attended by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

On the 2.5 km divided road, we carried the through traffic of the Şanlıurfa–Diyarbakır road onto a 2 × 194 m overpass and the movement between Buluntu Hoca Boulevard and Azerbaycan Boulevard into a 2 × 174 m underpass. Karaköprü traffic, which has grown with new residential areas, now flows safely without crossing paths.

We thank our team, whose hard work went into every meter of the interchange.

International First Prize for Our Kurşunlu Corrugated Steel Culvert

The corrugated steel culvert we built beneath an active railway line on the Korgun–Kurşunlu road won first place in the “World's Most Unique Project” category of the international project awards organized by the National Corrugated Steel Pipe Association (NCSPA) in the USA.

This multi-plate, closed-section structure is the largest corrugated steel tunnel of its kind in Türkiye. We assembled it on site, plate by plate; the highway now passes beneath the railway without interruption.

We share this award with our entire team who worked on the structure.
