Turkey was able to ride out 2008 financial crisis and is now in a position to pour billions of dollars into its infrastructure. The Turkish government has set an ambitious 2023 vision that will vastly transform the transportation sector in the country.

The Turkish Railways Authority and General Directorate of Highways plan to build more than US$100 billion worth of highway and railway lines in Turkey between now and 2023, while international consortia have already begun working on major projects such as the Eurasian Tunnel and the third Bridge on the Bosphorus.  The next wave of projects which are expected to be offered before 2015 includes Channel Istanbul and Canakkale Bridge.

The two-day Turkey Land Transport Infrastructure Summit taking place from 3-5 December 2013 in Turkey’s capital, Ankara, has been designed to bring together government authorities, public planners, policy makers, financiers, investors, consultants and contractors in one place to address the most current challenges facing the industry.
