Turkish contractor Kalyon begins work on UAE's 1st high-speed rail line

Turkish construction firm Kalyon Inşaat has started work on the United Arab Emirates' first high-speed rail line, which is part of a larger $13 billion railway development project by Etihad Rail. The project involves an international consortium including Kalyon Inşaat, UAE-based companies, and China State Construction Engineering Corporation. The Abu Dhabi section of the 150-kilometer route will include 97 kilometers of track, four stations, and an 11.2-kilometer twin-tunnel. Upon completion in 2031, the line will cut travel time between Abu Dhabi and Dubai from 90 to 30 minutes, operating at speeds up to 320 km/h. Kalyon Inşaat's chairman highlighted the project as a significant milestone for both the UAE and global railway engineering.
