Sancaktepe is an underground station on the M5 line of the Istanbul Metro.[2][3] It is located under Sevenler Street at Sancaktepe Meydan Park in the Abdurrahmangazi neighbourhood of Sancaktepe. It was opened on 16 March 2024 with the M5 line extension from Çekmeköy to Samandıra Merkez.[1]

History

[edit]

The Çekmeköy - Sultanbeyli Metro Line Second TBM Excavation Ceremony was held on 15 January 2021 for TBM-2 at this station, which started excavation during January 2021 from Sancaktepe to Çekmeköy.[4] On 18 January 2022, TBM-3 started its excavation from Sancaktepe to Veysel Karani. At the same time as TBM-3, TBM-1 reached the TBM shaft between Meclis and Çekmeköy and completed its excavation.[5]
