New asphalt road construction event for Turkey in 2014

Plans are in hand for a new asphalt road construction exhibition, Asphaltist, in Turkey during 2014. The event will be held at Istanbul’s Expo Centre from 6th-8th February 2014. The show aims to attract key manufacturers and industry players to the event. Turkey’s highway network is expanding rapidly as the country has highlighted road development as a key economic priority. The Turkish Government has said it intends to build some 36,500km of dual lane highways by 2023 and is investing up to €20 billion in this construction programme.
