During the visit, he also provided updates on other key infrastructure projects:

• The construction of the Karaoğlanoğlu – Alsancak – Lapta road is nearing completion.
• Work will soon begin on connecting Lapta, Geçitköy, Çamlıköy, and Yılmazköy to Lefkoşa.
• Construction has officially commenced on the Kyrenia – Çatalköy road.

Minister of Transport Erhan Arıklı added that the new Kayalar road will serve as an important logistical link, while Minister of Tourism Fikri Ataoğlu expressed confidence that improved transport infrastructure will positively impact the region’s tourism sector.

The completion of the Kayalar – Sadrazamköy road marks another significant step in the sustainable development of Northern Cyprus and in enhancing the quality of life for its residents.
