Within the scope of these works, 30 million cubic meters of excavation will be made, and a total of 6 viaducts of 418 thousand 13 meters will be completed. As we have many dry vents, one million 370 thousand tons of cold and hot asphalt mixture will be used only in this field. The total cost of all the projects I just listed is 1,5 billion liras. Our aim is to facilitate the connections of our new airport to the city center and to facilitate the access of our people. ”

Halkalıby finishing Halkalıto be integrated with Marmaray and High Speed Train (YHT) in the west direction. Thus, we will integrate projects as both road and rail systems.
In addition, we know that it will not be enough for Marmaray to serve only at night, with the end of Baku-Tbilisi-Kars, so that the cargo movement from Central Asia and China can go to Europe. Therefore, starting from Gebze, a rail system in the north, from Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge to our New Airport, from there Halkalı will go to Europe from the direction, HalkalıWe have now brought our high speed train project works to be integrated with Kapıkule. Now it's time for the tender stage. Thus, we will be able to carry passengers from Sabiha Gökçen to the New Airport by high-speed train. It is important that the two airports in Istanbul are integrated with each other. ”
