History
The Çekmeköy - Sultanbeyli Metro Line Second TBM Excavation Ceremony was held on 15 January 2021 for TBM-2, which started excavation during January 2021 from Sancaktepe to Çekmeköy.[5] According to the statement of Pelin Alpkökin, Head of the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Rail System Department, in April 2021, the first TBM had to pass under the station due to difficult ground conditions during the station excavation. In accordance with this unusual method, the TBM segments were broken while the station excavation is completed.
