Carrying Kocaeli to the future with modern transportation investments, the Metropolitan Municipality is working non-stop on the “Alikahya Stadium Tram Line” project, which is 3,8 kilometers in total length. The welding of the rails laid on the route, whose infrastructure has been completed, has begun.
TRAFFIC WILL BE RELAXED, TRANSPORTATION WILL BECOME EASIER
Kocaeli Metropolitan Municipality works day and night for a more livable Kocaeli with projects that will make daily lives easier for citizens. In this context, work continues at full speed on the “Alikahya Stadium Tram Line” project, which was initiated to both relieve Alikahya traffic and facilitate access to Kocaeli Stadium. The first phase of the project, which is 3 meters in total, is 800 kilometer of the 1.4-kilometer section, and the rails are being welded in the sections where the infrastructure is completed.
RAIL LAYING WORKS CONTINUE
The rail laying works in the tram line project carried out by the Metropolitan Municipality Rail Systems Department are continuing at full speed. In this context, the rails are being laid from the intersection of Fatma Seher Hanım Street and Albay Karaosmanoğlu Street, whose infrastructure has been completed, to Sultan Murat Street and the Anatolian Motorway underpass that has been closed to traffic, while the welding of the laid rails is being done with great care. When the project, where rainwater, drinking water, wastewater, electricity and telecom line works are ongoing, is completed, transportation will become more comfortable and faster. In addition, the 1-kilometer route of the tram line will be completed with these works.
INFRASTRUCTURE AND SUPERSTRUCTURE OF SIDE ROADS ARE BEING COMPLETED
Infrastructure and asphalt paving works of side roads in Alikahya Stadium Tram Line project are also continuing at full speed. Bituminous base asphalt and binder asphalt layer paving resistant to deformation caused by traffic, environment and climate are being carried out on the line route. Along with the tram line superstructure manufacturing, tram side road superstructure and pavement manufacturing works are being carried out simultaneously on the project route. Teams carrying out necessary ground improvements such as excavation and filling in the region are installing catenary system parts of rubber-based rail connections and laying the rails.
