Mersin ports to be linked to Middle Corridor and Development Road
Türkiye’s Mersin ports will be connected to both the Middle Corridor and the Development Road through the Mersin-Adana-Osmaniye-Gaziantep High-Speed Railway Project, Transport and Infrastructure Minister Abdulkadir Uraloğlu said.
Uraloğlu noted that the project will shorten the existing route between Mersin and Gaziantep from 361 kilometers to 312.5 kilometers.
“The project will be integrated with the Development Road through the planned high-speed railway line extending from Gaziantep to Ovaköy, and with the Middle Corridor through the Aksaray-Ulukışla-Yenice High-Speed Railway Project,” he said.
The minister said the existing railway infrastructure between Mersin and Adana will be upgraded to high-speed train standards. Additional new lines will also be completed to create an electrified and signaled railway suitable for both passenger and freight transport, he added.
