“The 32-kilometer Denizli Ring Road was designed in order to reduce the traffic density by taking the transit traffic out of the city, to shorten the driving time, to save fuel and to provide comfortable transportation. The 18st section of the 1-kilometer-long Denizli Ring Road, which starts at the Kumkısık Junction in the İzmir-Aydin direction, connects to the Denizli-Çardak Junction and ends at the Kale Junction, has been completed and opened to traffic.
