Transport Minister inspects workflow on first high-speed electric train

Egypt's Transport Minister Kamel al-Wazir inspected progress on the country's first high-speed electric rail line, which spans 660 kilometers from Ain Sokhna to Matrouh. His visit focused on final preparations at key stations such as Hadayek October, Giza interchange, and Cairo, highlighting infrastructure advancements like integrated high-speed and diesel train facilities. The project aligns with President Sisi's directive to complete mass-transit initiatives on schedule. Al-Wazir reviewed construction phases involving Siemens-Orascom-Arab Contractors, including ballast laying, rail installation, and electrification systems. The line is set to begin unmanned trial operations soon, with plans for passenger service later. Key infrastructure elements like the Masar Bridge, SUMED Bridge, and multiple Nile bridges were also assessed during the inspection.
