Isfahan ready to construct tramway tracks

"By the end of summer, the agreements to construct the tramway tracks in Isfahan will be finalized with 3 choices of China, France, and a domestic based company," Isfahan deputy mayor for transportation and traffic said.

Isfahan (IMNA) – "Consultations and negotiations regarding the construction of tramway tracks have started with different countries like China, Russia, Italy, Czech, and France since two years ago," Alireza Salavati said. "After deep investigations, we end up with 3 choices of China, France, and a domestic based company; each of them has presented technical aspects of the project and currently they are completing their documents. We plan to reach a mutual agreement with one of these options or a consortium of all the three options," he added.

Stating that 3 tramway trucks are predicted for Isfahan, Isfahan deputy mayor for transportation and traffic said, "The lines of Jomhouri square-Shahrak-e Kosar of Imam Khomeini Street, Jomhouri square-Azadi square, Jomhouri square-Shohada square has been predicted." Saying that the first priority is to construct Jomhouri square-Azadi square tram line, Salavati emphasized, "according to the consultant's studies, BRT lines can also turn into tram lines; therefore, the transportation of people who live in the west side of Isfahan can take place with the tram. Pointing to the advantages of tram, he said, "Concerning the city's characteristics, its flatness, and being a touristic city, tram can be a good solution for Isfahan's traffic."
