“As the metropolitan municipality, we have over 4 thousand kilometers in our area of responsibility. In order to maintain the comfort conditions of these roads, we need to perform approximately 2 million tons of asphalt renewal every year. During the month of June alone, including the Islands, we plan to lay over 350 thousand tons of asphalt in the main arteries from Şile to Silivri. In fact, our target for the end of 2020 was to lay 1 million 200 thousand tons of asphalt. However, thanks to the devoted efforts of our teams, we will rehabilitate the roads in 39 districts of Istanbul by making an amount of asphalt over this amount. We continue to prepare roads and squares for 16 million Istanbul residents. ”
