| -------------------------------------------------- ALEXANDRIA REGIONAL METRO ------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| |
Alexandria is the second largest Governate in Egypt. A transportation study carried out in 1986 recommended
the implementation of a Regional Metro Line extending from Abou Kir at the far east of the city to El Amreya
at the far west of the city, a length of approximately 55 km. The route will make use of the existing railway
line from Abou Kir to Misr station in the middle of the city, a length of 21.5 km, which is
the first priority of the proposed Metro line.
A new study of the project, completed in 1999, ( The new study also proposed the
detailed alignment of the whole length of the line, the basic design of the first section of the
line, and the relevant documents for an international tender) amended the route to the west of the Hanoveel district at
Kp 21, Alexandria-Matrouh road. The total length of the new line will be 46 km. The line will use
heavy rolling stock fed through an overhead line catenary system.

PORT SAID ROAD TUNNEL |
| |
The proposed location of this project is 19 km south of Port Said City where the road will cross under the Suez Canal through a tunnel. This tunnel is considered as
one of the main requirements for the success of the new extensive development of the East of Port Said project, which includes a new harbour and 87km2 of land earmarked for
industrial and agricultural investment. The proposed tunnel is also considered as an essential element of the International Coastal Road extending from Libya to Gaza in
Palestine via Alexandria and Port Said. The tunnel will allow the passage of private cars and commercial vehicles, including lorries with trailers.
The total length of the
tunnel and approaches is approximately 3 km and it will be a bored tunnel. Offers were invited in 1999 to implement the project on a BOT basis. However, only unacceptable bids were
received. A new declaration will be announced in the near future. To improve the financial aspects of the project, a considerable area of land is planned to
the concession company for development, in addition to the benefits to the concession company from the toll systems at the tunnel entrances.
