This forms part of a massive investment in infrastructure in Turkey. The country has a major highway building programme in place at present, including rebuilding of the road connecting commercial centre Istanbul with the seat of government and capital, Ankara.

In 2012, a further two new city airports in Mersin and Ordu will be built.
