Smart intersection application works, initiated by Bursa Metropolitan Municipality with the aim of ending the traffic problem and for more comfortable transportation, continue at key points of the city. The Metropolitan Municipality, making arrangements at 28 intersections in total, continues its work planning at 21 more intersections. Ata Bulvarı Sahil Street, Bülent Ecevit Nilüfer Cadde Çetin Emeç entrance, Derya Street exit, Acemler connection roads, Esentepe side road arrangement, Gürsu Cüneyt Yıldız Street, Kemer and Barbaros Avenues, Demirtaş Osmangazi Street and Hürriyet Street, Metropolitan Municipality continues its works on the U-turn in front of FSM Acıbadem, Namazgah Street and Kestel Uludağ Street.
The Metropolitan Municipality, which produces practical solutions for transportation, has started the smart intersection application in Çelebi Mehmet Boulevard, which is an alternative to Ankara and İzmir roads. With the intersection arrangement made at the 2nd Kanal Street intersection, the middle island will be removed and the four directions will be increased to 3 lanes with left turn pockets. In the construction of junction and connection roads, 700 meters of curbs, 900 square meters of parquet, 110 cubic meters of concrete, 180 cubic meters of excavation, 210 cubic meters of filling, 400 tons of pmt and 350 tons of asphalt will be made.
"Arrangement is planned in 21 intersections"
Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Alinur Aktaş, who examined the asphalting works on Çelebi Mehmet Boulevard on-site, received information from the authorities. Mayor Aktaş, who also chatted with the citizens, said that the traffic in the region will be relieved with the completion of the works. Reminding that transportation is one of the most talked about issues in Bursa, Mayor Aktaş stated that they have made important moves especially related to transportation since the day they took office. Giving the good news that the moves will continue to increase from now on, Mayor Aktaş stated that in addition to the smart touches made at intersections, new road works, and bridge constructions, moves have also been made in public transportation. Providing information about the works done so far, Mayor Aktaş said, “We have done 450 kilometers of hot asphalt work. We have carried out 951 kilometers of surface coating, 238 thousand square meters of curb, and 371 thousand square meters of sidewalk work. While Bursa gained 13 bridges, we built 140 thousand meters of guardrail. We built 1080 bus stops and created 159 new bus lines. There are currently 10 park-and-ride points in Bursa. The work we did at the intersections also received serious response. We seemed to have taken a break for a while, but we will accelerate even more from today. We have made arrangements at a total of 28 intersections. Planning for the arrangement work we will do at 21 intersections is ongoing,” he said.
"Target, faster and steady traffic"
Stating that the traffic will be relieved with the work carried out in Çelebi Mehmet Boulevard, Mayor Aktaş said, “There is a serious density at the intersection especially during peak hours. After the arrangement, a 25 percent capacity increase will be achieved. Waiting times at the intersection will decrease by an average of 50 percent during peak hours. We will finish this place in a week and put it into the service of the citizen. Good luck to our neighborhood. Our work on FSM Boulevard will relieve the intersection there. We are starting the work at the Kestel intersection next week. We have tenders towards the end of the year. We did the extension work in Novices. We closed the entrance on the BUSKI side. We will soon have a tender for Hayran Caddesi's participation in the road. I believe that the work done will make the traffic faster and more regular. "May our work be beneficial."
