Kağıthane is an interchange station on the M7 and M11 lines of the Istanbul Metro.[1][2] The M7 platform located above ground on the metro viaducts crossing the Kağıthane Creek, while the M11 platform is in underground. The M7 platform of the complex opened in 28 October 2020,[3] and the M11 platform opened in 22 January 2023.[4]
Kağıthane station was originally planned to be completed in 2017, however construction delays pushed the opening back to first 2018, then 2019, and eventually to October 2020. The complex is the first metro station within central Kağıthane.
The viaduct legs have seismic isolation and are constructed to be earthquake resistant.
There is a walking distance of approximately 230 meters from the entrance number 1 of the m7 Station to the M11 Kağıthane Metro Station, and there is a transfer opportunity between the stations.
It is planned to build new stations underground and provide integration between the lines for the HızRay / M34 (Beylikdüzü – Sabiha Gökçen Airport) High Speed Metro Line and M? (İTÜ – Kağıthane) Metro Line, which are in the project phase until the end of 2029.
