THE bottom end of Altinkum’s Ataturk Boulevard has been closed to traffic as flood alleviation work moves up a notch.

Massive pipework is being lowered at the bottom of the Boulevard, while diggers are currently ploughing up the sidewalk on the Hotel Horizon side of the Boulevard going up and beyond Sevil’s Dentist Centre which is opposite Temple Hotel.

The Karakol Cadessi area to the side and in front of the Didim Shopping Centre is presently closed to traffic and a detour is in place for that bottom of the Boulevard.

The work is expected for another few months yet.
