İrfan Balkanlıoğlu, the governor of Ordu, stated that the first stage works are already finished within the beltway project. He also underlined that the highway projects in Ordu are overcosting due to the rough terrains. Balkanlıoğlu said that “the Ordu-Giresun Airport costed 300 million Turkish Liras and the Ordu Beltway will cost four time more than the airport when it is finished. The Beltway will start form Perşembe and end in Gülyalı. The construction works are expeditiously ongoing. In the beginning, the beltway was separating the field of the University into two pieces but this was also prevented with a change on the project and the length of the tunnel was increased. In this way, people can pass this region in 10 minutes instead of 40 minutes in traffic jam. ”
