- PROJECT INFORMATION: Yeniköprü-Yüksekova Road Construction Project has been designed to link the Van-Hakkari State Highway (975-10), one of Türkiye's critically located road axes, to the Yüksekova District. The project will reduce travel distance by 7 km. Once the T-2 Tunnel (dual tube, 4562 m) has been completed, such tunnels and bridges in this area with the potential of heavy snow and landslides, will help augment road standards as well as ensure traffic safety and road comfort. Furthermore, Şemdinli and Yüksekova City transit will be facilitated.
