Speaking here and giving information about the tunnel, Mehmet Cahit Turhan, General Manager of Highways, stated that the Eğribel crossing with an altitude of 2 thousand 200 altitudes negatively affected life in the winter, and the road was closed to transportation due to the ineffectiveness of the maintenance teams. Stating that with the commissioning of the Eğribel tunnel, transportation will be provided uninterruptedly, Turan said, “When completed, it will be the third longest tunnel in our country after the Ovit and Kırık tunnels with a length of 5 meters. With the completion of the tunnel, altitude will decrease to 909 meters at the entrance and 1860 meters at the exit. Thus, transportation will be provided throughout the year ”.
In his speech at the ceremony, the Minister of Customs and Trade Nurettin Canikli, who was burdened with the opposition, talked about a memory he lived in the region. Noting that Eğiribel did not allow passage, Canikli told that they stayed on the road near Eğribel while returning from Alucra to Giresun after the March 30 elections last year. “We were able to reach the summit by towing by vehicles. Here we entered a building lost in the snow. Graders opened the road under difficult conditions, and we were able to land in Giresun, ”he said.
Following the speech, a symbolic groundbreaking ceremony was held for the tunnel work that is still continuing in the village of Asarcık in Şebinkarahisar. Minister Canikli reminded that non-governmental organizations had previously laid the groundwork with a dig and shovel in order to criticize the tunnel construction, so the ceremony took place here. The ceremony ended with the blowing of the opposition balloons.
