Deputy Prime Minister for Industrial Development and Minister of Industry and Transport Kamel Al-Wazir has conducted an extensive inspection tour to review progress on the first line of Egypt’s High-Speed Train network. The inspection tour included a review of industrial works across the project corridor, encompassing bridges, tunnels, culverts and waterways. This section of the line comprises eight main track bridges, 26 crossing bridges, 226 culverts and two tunnels. Most of the track bridges have been completed and handed over to the executing consortium to begin ballast spreading, sleeper installation and full track works. Al-Wazir stressed that the High-Speed Train represents a national milestone, as it will interconnect all regions of the country.
