Highway crews worked on the Artvin-Erzurum road yesterday evening after a rock and soil mass slid from a hillside at the Esenkaya location, causing the road to be closed. The teams, working throughout the night under the security measures taken by the gendarmerie, managed to reopen the road to controlled traffic using only one lane.
Efforts are underway to fully restore traffic on the affected route as road crews continue their work. The safety of motorists is a top priority as the road is being repaired and cleared of any debris that may pose a hazard to drivers. The authorities are urging caution and patience from travelers while the necessary repairs are being carried out to ensure the road is safe for use.
The closure of the Artvin-Erzurum road was a result of a landslide that occurred due to loose soil and rocks sliding down the hillside at the Esenkaya location. The teams worked tirelessly throughout the night to clear the road and make it accessible to vehicles once again, allowing for controlled traffic flow in the area.
The gendarmerie took necessary security measures in the affected area to ensure the safety of both the road crews and any passing motorists. The controlled traffic flow on the reopened road is a temporary measure until the repairs are completed and the route is deemed safe for normal traffic. Travelers are advised to follow any instructions given by the authorities and to drive with caution in the area.
Despite the challenges posed by the landslide, highway crews are working diligently to restore normal traffic flow on the Artvin-Erzurum road as quickly as possible. The teams are making progress in clearing the debris and making the necessary repairs to ensure the road is safe for travel. Travelers are encouraged to stay informed about the latest updates on the road closure and to plan their journeys accordingly to avoid any disruptions.
