The photos are to show the ones who dont live here that the resurfacing is begining, I personally wish them to leave it the way it is, the road is so much quieter, except for the dust!
I feel sorry for the shopkeepers, they have suffered the whole season, a few of them have had to close and they doubt if they will re open, rents are to be higher for some because of a nice shiny road.
When the new road opened splitting the resort in two, it was not used as much, then the powers that be started work on the Gunlukbsi roads and Karachulla road, forcing traffic on to the main road, now they have got used to new Calis road are they planning on calming the Gunlukbsi road (I hope so). but the new road from Calis to Fethiye is an accident waiting, watching young children (and adults) trying to cross this section is heart stopping at times, especially when you see someone who is not so steady on their feet climbing the high central reservation.
As for re-surfacing, they are working today, there is very little "bottoming" so if we have rain as we did 3-4 years ago the road is not going to last the winter season, therefore, will have to be done again next year, oh well I guess that is what is sadly named as progress.
