The motorway connecting Istanbul to Ankara closed on Sunday, January 23, due to heavy snowfall, local reports citing authorities said.

According to the Duzce Governorate, motorists were stuck on the TransEuropean Motorway and the D-100 highway overnight as heavy snow fell in the area. Local reports said there was a 17 km-long queue of drivers built up near the Duzce border with Bolu.
