The village became the center of attention in Yozgat in 2008 when Divanlı was selected to become the site of the Yozgat YHT railway station, which will service high-speed trains along the Ankara-Sivas high-speed railway.[2] The station is expected to be completed by the end of 2018.

An unnamed road connects Divanlı to the İL 66-25, which connects to the D.200 highway.
