The epidemic disease caused by the Coronavirus, also known as COVID19,
which first appeared in Wuhan, China in December 2019, has affected the whole world in a
very short time in health, economy, business life, social life, education, and many other
areas. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a pandemic on
February 11, 2020. In the short term, all sectors were adversely affected by the coronavirus.
The transportation sector has been one of the most affected sectors in this sense. At the
beginning of the epidemic process, the transportation sector came to a standstill.
International flights and transits were restricted. There were significant decreases
in Brent oil prices. The transportation infrastructure production sector has also been
adversely affected by this situation. The industry has come to a standstill. In the later
stages of the epidemic process, the restrictions started to be lifted, but the economic
problems experienced during the process increased the unit cost prices significantly.
Significant price increases in asphalt materials also occurred with this process. This study
examines the economic changes in the asphalt material sector after the impact of the
coronavirus and the effect of this process on investments based on transportation. At
the same time, the effect of pricing in the transportation sector on other construction
sectors will be revealed, and economic and social changes will be investigated on a sectoral
basis
