Bursa Metropolitan Municipality continues its work to create additional lanes at full speed in order to reduce traffic congestion in the Soğukkuyu Junction area between Acemler and Mudanya Junction. Mayor Bozbey said, “We are implementing our services with an effective system to make transportation in the region more fluid and prevent traffic congestion.”
Implementing important projects for Bursa to have a comfortable transportation network, the Metropolitan Municipality continues its work for uninterrupted transportation in Acemler, one of the focal points of urban traffic. Road widening and curb arrangement works initiated by the Transportation Department in the Soğukkuyu junction area between Bursa İzmir Highway Acemler Junction and Mudanya Junction are ongoing. With the completion of the work, a separate two-lane route divided by a center divider will be created for vehicles going from Acemler Junction to Mudanya. At the same time, a safer flow will be provided without interruption in the three-lane main road traffic going from Acemler Junction to İzmir Road. Bursa Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Mustafa Bozbey, together with the Transportation Department Director Assoc. Prof. Dr. Murat Kütükçü, examined the works in the Soğukkuyu Street exit area on site and received information from the teams.
“We are preparing solution proposals”
Stating that they have identified the places where traffic is congested in Bursa, Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Mustafa Bozbey stated that they have started implementing it by deciding how to solve it with scientific methods. Stating that traffic occurs between the Izmir Road Acemler Junction and the Mudanya Junction due to the collision of vehicles coming from Yunuseli and Hürriyet regions and wanting to exit in the direction of Izmir with vehicles wanting to turn onto the Mudanya Road from the city center, Mayor Bozbey stated that they have created an additional lane next to the existing lanes in order to prevent congestion. Stating that drivers will be able to go to Mudanya and Hürriyet from the right lane starting from the Acemler Station and BUSKİ building, Mayor Bozbey said, “Our buses will also pass through the same route. In addition, drivers will be able to pass towards Mudanya or to Nilüfer with a single lane after the Soğukkuyu exit. We are implementing our services with a system that will ease traffic in the region and prevent congestion. We know that there are also problems at points such as Orhaneli Junction and Beşevler Junction. We are also preparing solution proposals for these.”
Stating that they have also prepared projects for the transfer of vehicles coming from densely populated areas such as Dikkaldırım and Nilüfer to the Near Ring Road, President Bozbey said, “We are working with our teammates based on scientific data. We measure, then we do simulation. We provide services by finding the most accurate in the simulation. We aim to ease traffic by making many investments in transportation. Wherever there is a problem, we definitely have the solution. Solving the problem is our job.”
