Antalya—Alanya Highway Planned for Completion by October 2028

The Antalya—Alanya Highway is planned for completion by October 2028. Turkey’s Minister of Transport and Infrastructure, Abdülkadir Uraloğlu, named this target date set out in the contract during an inspection of the construction site; Turkish publications reported this in November 2026. For residents and property owners in the region, the date provides a target, but does not confirm an opening date.

Once completed, the highway is expected to reduce the journey between Antalya and Alanya to 35–40 minutes, instead of more than 2.5 hours. Turkey’s Minister of Transport and Infrastructure cited this target; some reports give a travel time of 35 minutes. The reduction in travel time may make it easier for residents and property owners to travel between the cities.

The Antalya—Alanya Highway will be 122 kilometers long: 84 kilometers will be the main road, with the rest consisting of connecting roads. According to the Turkish publication Emlak 365 on November 14, 2026, construction is continuing along almost the entire route. The project’s length indicates the scale of the route, but does not in itself mean that the entire road will be available at the same time.

According to figures reported on November 14, 2026, the tunnels on the Antalya—Alanya Highway are 80% complete, the viaducts are 50% complete, and earthworks are 45% complete. These figures relate to specific types of work and do not show the project’s overall completion. For property owners in the region, the figures provide an indication of construction progress, but do not replace a confirmed opening schedule.

Turkey’s Minister of Transport and Infrastructure said construction is ahead of the planned schedule. The possibility of completing the highway before October 2028 will be assessed in light of winter weather conditions and progress in the spring; according to the minister, an updated schedule is planned to be announced later. Therefore, October 2028 remains the target date, while an earlier date has not yet been confirmed.
