A major infrastructure breakthrough is on the horizon for Türkiye’s Mediterranean coast. The new Antalya–Alanya Highway project is set to redefine travel, tourism, trade, and environmental standards in the region. On Friday, 25 July 2025, the groundbreaking ceremony will officially mark the beginning of this transformative venture, as announced by Transport and Infrastructure Minister Abdulkadir Uraloğlu.

🚗 Travel Time Reduced by More Than Half

Currently, the trip between Antalya and Alanya can take up to 2.5 hours, especially during peak traffic periods. With the completion of the new highway, this will be reduced to just 36 minutes—a massive time-saving that will benefit both locals and tourists alike. Whether you’re commuting for business, heading to the airport, or planning a weekend getaway, this upgrade promises unmatched convenience and comfort.

💸 17.7 Billion Lira Boost to the Economy

Beyond the time saved, the highway project will bring substantial economic advantages. According to Minister Uraloğlu, the new road is expected to generate 16.9 billion lira in annual time savings and 800 million lira in fuel savings, culminating in a total contribution of 17.7 billion lira to Türkiye’s economy.

🌱 A Greener Future with Lower Emissions

The highway is also a leap forward in sustainable transport. By optimizing traffic flow and reducing travel time, the project is expected to prevent 47,000 tonnes of carbon emissions each year. This shift toward more eco-conscious infrastructure aligns with Türkiye’s broader climate goals.

🌍 Tourism and Trade Will Flourish

Alanya and Antalya are both tourism powerhouses. With shorter travel times, visitors will find it easier to explore both destinations, potentially doubling their experiences in a single trip. The highway will also reduce congestion on the existing road, improving logistics and enhancing trade in the region.

🛣️ A Growing Highway Network

The Antalya–Alanya Highway isn’t just an isolated development. It’s part of a broader strategy to connect Türkiye’s southern and western coasts. In the future, it will be seamlessly linked to the Denizli–Burdur and Burdur–Antalya highways, enabling faster, safer travel across the Aegean and Mediterranean regions.
