Karaj Subway Project Makes Slow Progress

A subway development project in Karaj, the central city of Alborz Province, is in progress and two stations will be launched by the end of the current fiscal year (March 2021).
According to Ali Asghar Salavati, the head of rail transportation of Karaj Municipality, the construction of 6.2 kilometers of subway Line 2, between Golshahr and Jahanshahr neighborhoods in the city center, is almost done and two stations will become operational in a couple of months, Borna news website reported.
“Over 90% of the project have been implemented in the two stations, which will be launched after their ventilation and signaling systems are tested,” he said.
Salavati noted that Line 2 of the subway will be partially launched in two years, if adequate funds are injected.
After completion, Line 2 will connect Kamalshahr in the far west to Shahid Soltani Bridge in the east of the city with 27 kilometers of railroad and 27 stations.
