Alexandria
is the second largest city in Egypt. A transportation study
carried out in 1986 and 1999 recommended the implementation of a
regional metro line extending from Abou-Kir at the far east of the
city to Kp 21 at the far west of the city, having a length of
approximately 43 km. The Line will benefit from the use of the
existing railway line from Abou-Kir to Misr stations in the centre
of the city. This forms the first section of the Line extending
about 21.5 km, most of which will be on grade and viaduct. The
other sections will be: a bored tunnel for the section passing
through the centre of the city to El Max, and from El Max to the
end of the line it is foreseen to be partially on viaduct and
partially overground. |
