The government plans to complete the construction of five rail projects, all of which have so far had more than 50% progress, by the end of its term in August, according to a report released by the Construction and Development of Transportation Infrastructure Company.
These railroad projects stretch for about 649 kilometers.
The first of these projects is the 270-kilometer Yazd-Eqlid railroad, which has had 86% progress so far. The project needs 4 trillion rials ($18.6 million) of investments before it can be completed at the approximate date slated for its inauguration that is late May or early June.
The railroad is estimated to transport 4 million tons of cargo and 1 million passengers in the first year of its launch.
