Kocaeli Metropolitan Municipality is working intensively on the Alikahya Stadium Tram Line project. Teams are building an 83-vehicle capacity open parking lot on the tram route on Sultan Murat Street in order to provide citizens with easier access to rail transportation.
PARKING LOT CONSTRUCTION WITH 83 VEHICLE CAPACITY
Kocaeli Metropolitan Municipality is working non-stop on the “Alikahya Stadium Tram Line” project, which is 3 meters long in order to both relieve Alikahya traffic and facilitate access to Kocaeli Stadium. As part of the work, the metropolitan teams are building open parking lots with a total capacity of 800 vehicles in 3 different areas on the Sultan Murat Street route. Thus, citizens will be able to leave their vehicles in the parking lots to be built by the Metropolitan Municipality and have easier access to rail transportation.
BUSY WORK FROM THE METROPOLITAN MUNICIPALITY
Working day and night for a more livable Kocaeli with projects that will make daily lives easier for citizens, the Metropolitan Municipality is working intensively to bring the Alikahya Stadium Tram Line project, which starts from the Izmit Intercity Bus Terminal, to the Kocaeli Stadium. The teams, which have completed 1.4 kilometer of the first stage of the project, which is 1 kilometers, are welding the rails laid in the sections where the infrastructure is completed.
TRAFFIC WILL BE RELIEVED WHEN THE PROJECT IS COMPLETED

The asphalt paving and curb work of the first stage of the parking lot construction has been completed.
