The roads opened as a result of operations in snow exceeding 6 meters in Hakkari's Yüksekova district virtually resemble tunnels.
Snow removal operations continue intensely in Yüksekova district, even in July. Teams from the Yüksekova Construction Site Directorate, affiliated with the Hakkari Provincial Special Administration, are continuously carrying out their operations on the Dat Gölleri road in the İkiyaka Mountains, located in the district center. Facing challenging moments against snow tunnels and snow depths reaching 6 meters, the teams are utilizing excavators on roads they cannot clear with loaders. Despite struggling to advance through snow exceeding the height of their loaders, the teams continue their operations day and night, undeterred by the risk of avalanches. The roads opened by these teams, who are conducting intense operations particularly to prevent citizens living in high altitudes from being adversely affected, are reminiscent of tunnels. - HAKKARI
