Oct 01, 2026

Fırat Çeçen, Chairman of the Board of Directors at IC İçtaş Construction, visited the Mahmutbey-Bahçeşehir-Esenyurt Metro Project—which is currently under construction—to receive an update on its progress. Fırat Çeçen met with the project team on-site and conducted an inspection.

The Mahmutbey-Bahçeşehir-Esenyurt Metro Line is 18.5 km long and consists of 10 stations. Serving as an extension of the existing M7 Kabataş-Mecidiyeköy-Mahmutbey metro line, the project begins at the Mahmutbey station and ends at the Esenyurt Meydan station.

The project, which will reduce travel time between Mahmutbey and Esenyurt to 27 minutes, has a capacity of 70,000 passengers. On this section of the line, where all M7 line connections will be available, integration will be provided with the M9 Ataköy–İkitelli metro line at the Mehmet Akif station and with the Sefaköy–Başakşehir metro line at the Toplu Konut station.
