Konya Metropolitan Municipality has passed another important milestone in the City Hospital–New Industrial Site Tram Line, which is the first phase of the Stadium–City Hospital Tram Line Project.
Konya Metropolitan Mayor Uğur İbrahim Altay inspected the tram line yesterday evening and monitored the joining process of the tracks whose installation had been completed.
Providing information about the works, Mayor Altay stated that they are carrying out historic projects for public transportation in Konya, and that the construction of the City Hospital–New Industrial Site Tram Line, the first phase of the City Hospital–Stadium Tram Line, is continuing without interruption.
HISTORIC STEPS ARE BEING TAKEN FOR THE CITY
Mayor Altay stated that the Metropolitan Municipality is continuing the works on the 11.1-kilometer section between the City Hospital and New Industrial Site, while preparations by the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure are ongoing for the second phase, a 10-kilometer section between Yeni Industrial Site and the Stadium. “God willing, we plan to begin construction there as well and complete the line as soon as possible. In the second phase, we have pedestrian overpasses and flyover intersections, and we are carrying out the necessary planning for them. These infrastructure projects are difficult, demanding, and challenging, but historic steps are being taken for the future of our city. We aim to complete these works as quickly as possible and expand Konya’s rail system to four times its current capacity,” he said.
