Sorry to be the bringer of bad tidings, but you may find that all that is being done is "CANALISATION", in other words, tearing up existing roads to install mains sewerage system.It's going on all over, in fact, I can see/hear the road on the other side of "our" canal being ripped apart as I type this
We are in Akarca, by the way.
Our friends had a lovely, level paved road outside their villa, and, after "Canalisation", it was left like a Baghdad bomb-site
