The Rail Welding Program was held for the KONYARAY Suburban Line, which is being brought to the city through the cooperation of the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure and the Konya Metropolitan Municipality.
Konya Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Uğur İbrahim Altay stated that traffic is the biggest problem faced by major cities and emphasized that they continue to invest in rail system projects without interruption in order to address this issue.
Stating that they have witnessed the completion of an important milestone in the KONYARAY project, Konya Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Uğur İbrahim Altay said, “We have completed the first rail welding. Work continues uninterrupted on our 23-kilometer line, which will run from Meram Station to Pınarbaşı. Once KONYARAY is completed, rail system operations here will continue without interruption to traffic. This is a joint project in which our Metropolitan Municipality has procured the vehicles, while Turkish State Railways is responsible for the infrastructure, signaling, and electrification works. We are implementing one of the finest examples of cooperation between local and central government.”
