Istanbul M7 Metro Line infrastructure repairs

Overview

Repair works continue on the M7 Yıldız-Mahmutbey Metro Line in Istanbul following structural deformation caused by underground water flow. Service between Mecidiyeköy and Nurtepe has been suspended since April 27, resulting in the temporary closure of the Çağlayan and Kağıthane stations.

Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (İBB) officials are implementing engineering solutions, including a new drainage system and the reconstruction of a damaged 60-meter section. Authorities maintain the goal of restoring normal service to the affected segment by the end of 2026.

The suspension has significantly impacted commuters, with travel times increasing from approximately 6–7 minutes via metro to 30–35 minutes via road during peak hours. To mitigate these disruptions, İBB provides alternative transportation through IETT buses.
