“Here we are implementing a state-of-the-art technology which
exists only in a few cities across the world. There will not be pole

The line will run together with the vehicle traffic up to Mawlana
Culture Center.”

works were managed in surveillance of the officials from the Board
of Monument due to historical works reveal even excavation in 60-70
cm depth, Mayor Akyürek said, “Here is one of the fastest advancing
works in Turkey. Working period has been 1,5 months since starting.
Water and sewer system and other infrastructure lines were by-pas-
sed. Now the rail system infrastructure was prepared and rails are be-
ing laid. We try to accomplish the works in a short time. During work
we were able to permit the vehicle traffic limitedly. In this process, we
thank much to patients of our citizens who experienced trouble. We
allow our city to win a very crucial vital point.”
