Egyptian president inspects construction work at Cairo road projects

CAIRO – 27 November 2020: Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah El Sisi on Friday has inspected construction work at Cairo’s Salah Salem axis, Gesr Al-Suez and an axis linking between these areas and Cairo-Suez road and New Cairo.

Presidential spokesman Bassam Radi said the president has checked the construction work at these sites with engineering supervisors.

Sisi urged applying the largest possible expansion of traffic lanes in roads so that they can accommodate the future increase in the movement of vehicles in these roads.

Last week, Sisi inspected under-construction projects of the City of Arts and Culture, and the new Opera House in the New Administrative Capital, said Radi.

The City of Arts would be the largest artistic and cultural city in the Middle East.

The city is being constructed on an area of 127 acres. It includes a number of theaters, exhibition halls, libraries, museums and art galleries, for traditional and contemporary arts like music, painting, sculpture, handicrafts and others. The city would also include the new Opera House, which would be the largest opera house in the Middle East.
