Connecting most of the coastal towns and cities at middle and eastern Black Sea, D.010 runs through Ereğli, Zonguldak, Bartın, Sinop, Samsun, Ordu, Giresun, Trabzon and Rize. It leaves the coast at Hopa, Artvin Province and turns southeast. D.010 passes through Ardahan and connects at Akçakale, Kars Province to D.060, which leads in the east to the border checkpoint Turkey-Armenia at Akyaka, Kars. On its full length, it passes through 14 provinces of Turkey.[1]
Between Samsun and Hopa, D.010 is a divided route named Black Sea Coastal Highway (Turkish: Karadeniz Sahil Yolu), and is part of the European route E70 at a length of 480 km (300 mi).[1]
