Antalya Sets Temporary Traffic Measures for COP31 Summit

Türkiye is preparing to host one of the most critical gatherings in climate diplomacy. The Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change is continuing its preparations for the 31st Conference of the Parties (COP31) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The Antalya Governorate has announced temporary road closures and traffic arrangements on specific routes on 10, 11 and 12 November due to the summit, which will take place from 9 to 20 November.

Under the measures, separate lanes will be set up in both directions between the airport checkpoint and the airport junction for guest delegation convoys and citizen traffic. On the roughly 18-kilometre D-400 highway, traffic will be regulated in both directions between the Airport Junction and the Belek Shell junction. The “Leaders’ Road,” which guest heads of state and delegations will use, will be fully closed to traffic on 11 November from 07:30 to 12:00.

Only official vehicles and shuttle vehicles will be allowed on the EXPO2016 Boulevard. The governorate also shared routes to the airport from the city centre, Kundu-Lara and Serik. Drivers have been asked to follow directional signs and the instructions of officials.
