Inauguration of El-Tagneed Axis – Shubra/Banha Freeway

It is an 11 km-long traffic corridor and part of the development plan set for Eastern Cairo region. The corridor is of vital importance as it connects Mostorod area with all the main western and eastern roads of the Republic; it is now connected to Cairo-Suez, Cairo-Ismailia, and Cairo-Alexandria desert and agricultural roads.

The axis starting point is Ibn Al-Hakam Square in Gesr El-Suez District, passing through El-Matareya Square Bridge then Shubra/Banha Freeway and servicing El-Matareya, Mostorod and Bahtim areas to reduce traffic jams.
