They had moved some cables & poles, getting ready for the roundabout. there was work going on with the Yeshilkoy bypass. They were blasting at one point for a couple of days. But I cant see anything being started on the Kas section until this season is out of the way.

Jamera New Member	Re: Any progress with the new road? Just come back from Kalkan - the road is progressing - but the timetable for completion is 2008. Now that the new road is there, there does seem to be a lot of building works starting - hotels, villas and complexes - Kalkan is going to get a lot bigger in the next few years!

kalkankath New Member	Re: Any progress with the new road? The road seems to be progressing quite nicely (it's got about half-way to Kalamar), however, I've been told that unlike villa construction, the road-building will probably continue throughout the summer as it's a central government project not a local one. The operation is quite a noisy one (involving occasional blasting with dynamite and constant digging from 7.30 / 08.00 in the morning until early evening) - this is not going to be particularly pleasant for those staying in villas close by. Does anyone have any further information on whether or not this work is definitely going to continue through the summer? Apparently, the Belediye has no control over this particular project at all.
