Marmaray Projesi, Avrupa yakasndaki Halkaly, Anadolu yakasndaki Gebzeye kesintisiz, modern ve yksek kapasiteli bir banliy hatt sistemi ile balayarak stanbul banliy sistemini gelitirmektir. Bu proje ile her iki yakadaki demiryolu hatlar; stanbul Boaznn altndan geen bir demiryolu tneli ile birbirine balanacaktr. Hat, Yedikulede yeraltna girmekte, Yenikap ve Sirkeci yeralt istasyonlar ile devam etmekte, Boazn altndan geerek skdar yeralt istasyonuna balanmakta ve Stleme de yzeye kmaktadr. Sirkeci ve skdarda 2 ara istasyon yer alacak olup, 4 yeni yer alt istasyonu ( Yedikule, Yenikap, Sirkeci ve skdar ) yaplacaktr. yiletirilen ve yeni yaplan ksmlar ile bu rayl sistemin tamam yaklak 76 km. uzunluunda olacaktr.Bu proje ile 63km. uzunluundaki Gebze- Halkal arasndaki ift hat demiryolu 3 hatta karlacak tr. Ana yaplar ve sistemler, batrma tp tnel, delme tneller, a-kapa tneller, hemzemin hatlar, 4 yeni yeralt istasyonu, 37 hemzemin istasyon ( yenileme iyiletirme ), mevcut hatlarn iyiletirilmesi (hemzemin kesimde nc hat dahil olmak zere ), tamamen yeni elektro mekanik sistemler ile modern demiryolu tatlarnn alnmasn iermektedir. The Marmaray Project provides an upgrading of the commuter rail system in stanbul, connecting Halkali on the European side with Gebze on the Asian side with an uninterrupted modern high-capacity commuter rail system. The Project includes a railway tunnel connection under the Bosphorus. The tunnel goes underground at Yedikule, connects to the Yenikapi and Sirkeci new underground stations, passes under the Bosphorus and connects to the skdar new underground station, and emerges at Stleme. There will be two transfer stations at Sirkeci and skdar and 4 new underground stations ( Yedikule, Yenikap, Sirkeci ve skdar ) will be constructed.The entire upgraded and new railway system will be approximately 76 km long. Two track railway of 63 km between Gebze Halkal will be three tracks by means of this project. The main structures and systems include the immersed tube tunnel, bored tunnels, cut-and-cover tunnels, open cuts, four new underground stations, 37 surface stations (renovation and upgrading), upgrading of existing tracks (including a new third track on ground), completely new electrical and mechanical systems and procurement of modern railway vehicles.
