İsmail Akçay, President of the Gümüşhane Chamber of Commerce and Industry (TSO), stated that on November 10, the Zigana Tunnel, which is the dream of Gümüşhane, will be tendered, and they are happy to hear it from President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
Akçay emphasized that they had been demanding for international standards to be transported.
Akçay, while experiencing the joy of this, stating that their only obstacle is the crossing of Zigana Mountain, continued as follows:
“Our President gave the good news that Zigana Mountain will be passed through a new tunnel during his visit to our city. We were very happy. Connecting the Zigana Tunnel to only Gümüşhane and the region would not be the right decision. Zigana Tunnel, Turkey and all the rhetoric is a very important strategic crossing point of the international road transport. As of today, the number of vehicles passing through Zigana Mountain is 1 million 200 thousand per year. ”
- “It will pay for itself in 5 years”
Akcay stressed that there will be a half-hour shortening between Gümüşhane and Trabzon by the construction of the tunnel and noted that this shortening will significantly increase the contribution to the national economy considering the number of vehicles passing by.
Akcay, Turkey, noting that the entire country is an area close to the outside of fuel, "Foreign oil imports is also affecting our deficit significantly. Therefore, if we consider spending the fuel consumed in 1 million 200 thousand vehicles for half an hour less, the new Zigana Tunnel will pay for itself in five years. ”
