Ineco is working on one of the most important railway projects in Turkey. It involves adapting the Ankara-Istanbul line, which links the country’s capital with the largest and most densely populated city in Turkey.
In terms of the Turkish economy, in a country with a rapidly expanding population, the current rail capacity has proved to be insufficient to meet the needs of passengers and freight, and this railway line typifies the situation.
The railway corridor, built in the early 20th century, is 576 kilometres long and despite linking the two most important cities in the country, 75% of the route is single track which means that journeys can take more than 6 hours.
