The construction of the new Mecidiyeköy metro station, which will serve the new metro line that will connect one of Istanbul's most important commercial districts on the European side to Mahmutbey district in the west, will begin on Monday, July 6.

The segment of Büyükdere Street between Cevahir Shopping Mall and Mecidiyeköy Intersection will partially be closed for vehicle and pedestrian traffic. Passage corridors will be provided for buildings and plazas located next to the construction site.

The construction is expected to be completed within 60 days.

The area is one of the busiest locations of Istanbul's European side with its ever-lasting clogged traffic; therefore the works are expected to further deepen the traffic problem of Mecidiyeköy and Şişli area.

When completed, the Mecidiyeköy-Mahmutbey line will be able to carry 70,000 passengers per hour. Through its extensions, the new line will also connect central Beşiktaş and remote Bahçeşehir districts on the east-west axis, providing an incomparably fast alternative between these districts. The duration of the trip between Mecidiyeköy and Beşiktaş will take about five minutes, which currently takes between 15 minutes to an hour – for a four kilometer ride – depending on the traffic. The trip between Mecidiyeköy-Mahmutbey will take 26 minutes, a 20 kilometer ride that can take hours during rush hours.
