This phase has a completion date set at October 2019. This Line has a length of 19 kilometres (12 mi). The line is 21.6-kilometre (13.4 mi) long,[21] of which 13 kilometres (8 mi) is in tunnels. Egypt’s Ministry of Transport has selected a consortium led by Bombardier as preferred bidder for two monorail projects in Cairo. The city is expected to house 6.5 million people when finished. Please update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information. It would be in total 43 km long. The station will be an at-grade station built parallel to the train railway, bridges will be built to divert traffic from the Metro route.[47]. [24]:15, Later on multiple experts came to Egypt regarding that project: Soviet experts in 1956, Japanese experts in 1960 and French experts in 1962, which concluded the following: A second line connecting 6 October City and Giza will stretch to 42km. The Cairo monorail project includes the construction of two lines in the metropolitan area of the Egyptian capital. The six planned metro lines aim to meet the transportation demands of the Greater Cairo area up to the year 2032. The creation of a metro system with multiple lines. [49], Line 6 would be a north-south line, from Shubra in the north to the Maadi and Helwan districts in the south. The number of trains in the service is 2 trains, and the number of vehicles in each train is 3 vehicles, the number of passengers 170 passengers and operating time 18 … Line 2 uses the third rail electrification system instead of the overhead line used in the first line. [10] The line can carry 60,000 passengers per hour in each direction. The minimum headway for the line is 2 minutes 40 seconds to 3 minutes. [26] [46], As of December 2017, Spokesperson for the Egyptian National Authority for Tunnels (NAT) said that there are plans to extend Line 2 7 kilometers to the north from Shubra Al-Kheima station to end at Qalyub station due to the increasing traffic in north Cairo entrances, He also said that bidding will be held in February 2018 and the winner will be revealed mid 2018. [8][9] It would intersect Line 1 at Helmiet el-Zaitoun station, Line 2 at El-Khalafawy station, Line 3 at Haroun station, and Line 4 at Al-Wafaa we al-Amal station. The train's route length is 1857 meters. This project supports Cairo and Egypt to enable fast, sustainable, comfortable and above all safe transportation for millions of people every year in the dynamic Cairo metropolitan area. The second will run 42 km from 6 October City to Giza. In 1954 French experts made a report about the future of the transportation in Egypt. The Monorail of the New Capital City: Overview: It links Cairo governorate from the Stadium station of Cairo Metro Line 3 in Salah Salem Street with New Cairo and the New Capital City. [21] It is mostly in bored tunnel, with two exceptions: a short section at the northern end approaching Shubra El Kheima which is elevated, and a section just south of this by cut-and-cover. The second line will run between 6th October City and Giza over a length of 42km. There are numerous utilities and existing structures that must be avoided, including some that are being constructed after the contract was approved. The monorail of the Sixth of October City includes 12 stations and will serve the major expansions of the city, especially social housing projects. It would be 54km in length. The first, a 54km line connecting the NAC with East Cairo, will pair up with a 43km line connecting 6th October City with Giza. 13 June 2017 05:13 PM. [24]:20, The construction of Line 1 started in 1982 after the French government agreed on giving Egypt the necessary loan. Innova is providing alignment design, comprehensive logistic beam fabrication and transportation support, construction engineering, structural calculations and drawings for the mainline structures, and shop drawings for guideway beams. A 26 mile (42 km) long monorail to serve 6th of October City. Coupled with that, Egypt has one of the world’s youngest demographics, which will cause the country’s population to grow 50% (from 100 million to 150 million) until the end of the century. Line 5 would be a half-circular line connecting lines 1-4 in northern Cairo, running from Nasr City in the east, to Port Said Street and Shubra El Kheima in the west. [49], Line 4 (October-Oasis Highway - the Police Academy). The second line will be 42-kilometre long and connect 6th October City to Giza. The alignment extends from Cairo Stadium to the east through new developments until reaching a $45 billion dollar brand new governmental capital in the yet to be named New Capital City. Cairo - Mubasher: The Egyptian New Urban Communities Authority (NUCA) and Canada's Bombardier Company have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to study the establishment of a monorail from Nasr City to New Cairo and the new administrative capital. The 54-kilometre monorail will connect East Cairo with the New Administrative City and a second 42-km line will connect 6th October City with Giza. The first line would use the already available railways (Helwan-Bab El luk and Al Laymoun Bridge-El Marg) and connect them through a metro. [24]:15 The second line would be from Sayeda Zainab to Shobra going under Downtown Cairo and would be 9.5 km long. This line carries trains with 3 units (9 train cars),[10] which have a headway of 3:30 to 4 minutes, and a maximum speed of 80 km/h (50 mph). [24]:15, In 1964 British experts advised the creation of a metro line from Bab El Louk to Shubra. Helwan University station was built between Wadi Houf and Ain Helwan stations. Bombardier Transportation, which will build the system's 70 four-car Innovia Monorail 300 trains, has a $2.85 billion share in the project, and Orascom has a $900 million share, the statement said. [24]:14, The idea of a metro was first proposed in the 1930s by engineer Saiyed Abdel Wahed of the Egyptian Railway Authority,[24]:15 however, the idea did not progress. A 54 km line will connect East Cairo to the New Administrative Capita (‘New Capital City line’) and a second 42 km line will connect the 6th October City to Giza (‘6th October line’). "TWINNING PROJECT FICHE - Assistance to the Egyptian Metro Company (ECM) in Reforming Railway Safety Regulations, Procedures and Practices", "Statistics [see first and second figures – e.g. Fugro is to deploy up to 15 geotechnical drilling rigs along the 43 km route of the planned Giza to October 6 City line. In May, Bombardier announced being selected to establish a €3 billion ($3.36 billion) monorail project in Egypt that will run from Cairo to the eastern and western outskirts. 3. The Egyptian government is accepting proposals from national and international companies interested in constructing two light rail projects in the greater Cairo area. Innova is currently implementing design improvements based on our experience in the design, construction, and maintenance of monorails incorporating enhancements on the project in expansion joints, bearings with 50% longer life cycle than standard bearings used in the industry, improved quality control of guideway beam top surface finishes, upgraded construction engineering and precast techniques. [29], Line 3 (green) presently operates from Attaba to El-Shams club, with construction under way for the remaining line to the northwest of Greater Cairo. It is considered one of the modern developed transportation projects which the company implemented under the supervision of the Ministry of Transportation and the National Authority for Tunnels. [2], The middle two cars (4th and 5th) of each train have been reserved for women since 1989[11] (the 5th car becomes mixed-use after 21:00). The total length of the line will be approximately 50 kilometres (31 mi), most of which in bored tunnel, and will be implemented in four phases. [26], Cairo's metro network was greatly expanded in the mid-1990s with the building of Line 2, from Shoubra El Kheima to Cairo University, with an extension to Giza. It is the largest city in Africa, the Arab world, and the Middle East, and the 15th-largest in the world. The plans include interchange stations between the six metro lines and would also provides interchange facilities with existing main railway stations, the airport, and bus stations. [39][40][42][43], Phase 2 will begin from El-Malek El-Saleh Station, passing east through Magra El-Oyoun street and Salah El-Din Citadel in Salah Salem street and ending at the 6th District Station (beginning of Nasr City district) with a completion date set at October 2018. It will cross the two branches of the Nile river, and have a total length of 24 kilometres (14.9 mi). [24]:11 The capacity of Cairo's public transport infrastructure was around 20,000 passengers/hour, which increased to 60,000 after the construction of the metro. They also proposed that there should be one company in charge of all transportation systems. The Cairo Metro is the first rapid transit system in Greater Cairo, Egypt and the first of only two full-fledged metro systems in Africa and only four in the Arab world. The fourth would be from Al Awqaf to the Castle and would be 6.7 km long. [24]:32, Line 1 has a train driving simulator supplied by Transurb Technirail that won the international tender issued by Cairo Metro in 2011. The monorail system will connect East Cairo and the New Administrative City. The Cairo monorail project will be constructed and equipped by Bombardier Transportation together with its Egyptian partners – Orascom Construction and the Arab Contractors. The first is a 5 km line connecting Helwan with El-Marg going under the Kasr el Eini street and Ramses Street. This policy was introduced for protection of women from sexual harassment by men. "Cairo Tunnel Metro" or مترو الأنفاق pronounced [ˈmetɾo lʔænˈfæːʔ]) is the rapid transit system in Greater Cairo, Egypt. The railway division of Bombardier Inc. will deliver the project in partnership with two Egyptian companies Orascom Construction and the Arab Contractors with the trains being developed and built in Derby, Britain. Much of the alignment is designed along major highways and moves between the median of existing roadways to the shoulders to avoid large highway crossings or accommodate stations and then return to the medians. [citation needed], In August 2016 a different monorail project was under discussion, connecting 6 October city with other western parts of Greater Cairo. Coordination with the vehicle supplier, Bombardier, requires attention to detail and close coordination for system requirements. Cairo Monorail Route and Stations The monorail project will include a 54km line connecting the New Administrative City with East Cairo and a second 42km line connecting 6th of October City with Giza. The Cairo Metro (Arabic: مترو أنفاق القاهرة, romanized: Metro Anfāq al-Qāhirah, lit. It concluded the necessity for three lines in greater Cairo to solve the transportation problem. Phase 4-1 from Al Ahram to El Shams Club opened on June 15, 2019 (with the exception of Heliopolis Square station). [8][9] As of early 2019, construction is scheduled to begin in Q3 2019, with an estimated completion date of 2024. [34], As the biggest and most densely populated city in Africa, and the Arab World, the case for a metro in Greater Cairo was strong. As of early 2019, construction is scheduled to begin in Q3 2019, with an estimated completion date of 2024. [24]:16 In 1966 Japanese experts advised the creation of a lane between Helwan and El Marg and another one going through Mohandessin, Heliopolis and 26 of July street, for a total of 26 km. The second line would connect 6th October City and Gizeh. It was opened in 1987 as Line 1 from Helwan to Ramsis square, with a length of 29 kilometres (18.0 mi). Return to top. Each of the alignments has sizable depots and Operations, Maintenance, and Storage Facility (OMSF) at the end of each alignment. In 1987 that population stood at 10 million residents, not counting the two million or so commuters who came into Cairo every day to work. [12], Cairo Metro operates from 05:00 till 01:00 (except during Ramadan, when it operates from 05:00 till 02:00), with the remaining hours reserved for maintenance work. [26] The communication extension for line 2 was provided by Alcatel in 2005.[27]. UK Export Finance has agreed to provide support to the National Authority for Tunnels (NAT), part of the Egyptian Ministry of Transport, to facilitate the design, construction, operation and maintenance of two [10] As of 2013, the metro carried nearly 4 million passengers per day. [8][9] It would intersect Line 1 at Ghamra station, Line 3 at Bab al-Sharia station, Line 4 at Amr Ibn al-Ase station, and Line 5 at Sawah station. The first section was opened on 27 September 1987[2] and the line was completed in 1989 connecting Helwan with El Marg and consisting of 33 stations with a total length of 43 km of which 4.7 km underground. [30], Phase 1 from Attaba station to Abbassia station opened on 21 February 2012,[31] with five stations and a total length of 4.3 kilometres (2.7 mi). [17] As of July 2020, 9 stops cost EGP 5, 16 stops cost EGP 7, and rides exceeding 16 stops cost EGP 10. The length of this line would be 42km. Line 2 has a simulator installed in Shubra since 2002[citation needed] which was delivered by French company CORYS. [10] The line is 44.3-kilometre (27.5 mi) long,[10] and serves 35 stations. [48] However, the actual construction and implementation schedule will be restricted by available funding, and it is likely that the timetable will slip. A transportation study of the Greater Cairo region was completed in 1999. [26] Phase 1 stations will be equipped with automatic fare collection system and platform screen doors, and will include elevators for the use of disabled passengers. The light rapid transit system will have a total length of 96 kilometres and consist of two lines: the 54-kilometre route will connect East Cairo with New Administrative City while the 42-kilometre route will link 6th October City … The first will run 54 km from eastern Cairo to the new administrative capital. A second line of 26 miles will run between Sixth of October City and Giza. Get the latest news, events and announcements straight to your inbox. BOMBARDIER, Orascom Construction and Arab Contractors have signed an agreement to design and build two new monorail lines in Cairo. [10], The Cairo Metro is run by the National Authority for Tunnels. Eng. [36][37] The construction of the line was finished in October 2000, and it was later extended to El Mounib. It serves 20 stations, of which 12 are underground. One of the proposed monorail lines would stretch from 6th of October City to suburban Giza, over 35km, while another planned line would extend from Nasr City to New Cairo, covering 52km. [35] In 1999, New El Marg station was added to the northern end of the line, bringing its total length to 44.3 km. [9][23] Phase 2 to Al Ahram Station was opened on May 7, 2014 by Adly Mansour,[32][33] with four additional stations and an added length of 7.7 kilometres (4.8 mi),[23] for a total length of 12.0 kilometres (7.5 mi). The first monorail line will extend 54 km from East Cairo to the New Administrative Capital, while the second line will be 42 km long and will connect 6th October City to Giza. [8], This project was first proposed by private investors as a plan to connect Line 3 with Line 4, through a route which is mostly parallel to the Ring Road's eastern arc, therefore covering New Cairo from north to south starting at the Cairo International Airport and ending at the beginning of the Cairo-Ain Sokhna Highway. The Capacity of the train is 2000 Passengers per hour per direction. There are blue signs at every station that signify the position of these cars. Additional design support is being provided for emergency walkways, track switches, station guideway beams, and depot guideway beams and foundations. The completed Metro Network would be capable of serving most of the densely populated areas in the Greater Cairo region, which was much in need of a comprehensive mass transit system. These are the first mass transit links to connect Greater Cairo with New Capital City and 6 October City and will greatly improve mobility for Egyptian citizens. The Cairo monorail project comprises two new monorail lines. The offer was accepted in October 2018. Following the Egyptian Revolution of 1952, there was renewed interest in the idea. Sayed Farouk – CEO and President of the Arab Contractors Company inspected the Cairo Monorail Project in 6th October City. [8][9] It was opened in 1987 as Line 1 from Helwan to Ramsis square with a length of 29 kilometres (18.0 mi). The first route will have a length of 54 kilometres and link East Cairo with the New Administrative Capital. To accommodate those needs, the Cairo Monorails project alignments radiate outward from Cairo city center as follows: A 33 mile (53 km) long monorail will serve New Capital City. Thirty-four miles of monorail will connect the New Administrative City with East Cairo. EGYPT: Arab Contractors has awarded Fugro a contract to undertake geophysical and geotechnical investigations for the second phase of the Cairo Monorail project. It recommended the implementation of a six line system consisting of lines 1, 2 and 3 (existing), and lines 4, 5 and 6. [14] The Ministry of Transportation agreed to double the ticket prices, starting from Friday 24 March 2017, costing EGP 2 for the normal ticket, 1.5 for the minors ticket, 1 for the special needs ticket[15][16] after formerly costing 1, 0.75 and 0.5, respectively. The line includes the first tunnel under the Nile. ... covering New Cairo from north to south starting at the Cairo International Airport and ending at the beginning of the Cairo-Ain Sokhna Highway [citation needed], where the government is currently planning to build a major bus station to serve those traveling to the eastern part of the country. [28], The first tunnel to be built under the Nile River carries line 2 across the river. It would have a length of 20 kilometres (12 mi), entirely within bored tunnels. [25], Line 2 (red) is the second line of the Cairo Metro. Cairo Monorail’s New Administrative Capital line will feature 21 stations while the 6th of October City line will have 12 stations. Eight companies applied and the French company Sufreto won the tender on 20 September 1970. [24]:18 [10] The lines use standard gauge (1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in)). The third line would go from El Darasa to Imbaba and would be in total 10 km long. About the project: The monorails will extend a 54-km line (expected to be completed in 2022) between the new capital and Nasr City, and another 42-km line (scheduled for completion in 2023) from Sixth of October City to Giza. The alignment extends in a southwestern direction, providing a connection from the commercial Zamalek district, west of the Nile, to the new commercial, industrial, and residential City of the 6th of October. The system consists of three operational lines[2] numbered from 1 to 3.

Cairo Monorail Project. The second line will be 42 km long to connect 6th October City to Giza. These cars are used as an option for women who do not wish to ride with men in the same car; however, women can still ride other cars freely. [24]:16 The Egyptian Ministry of Transport issued an international tender for the creation of the study. The alignment extends from Cairo Stadium to the east through new developments until reaching a $45 billion dollar brand new governmental capital in the yet to be named New Capital City. It will cross the two branches of the Nile river, and have a total length of 24 kilometres (14.9 mi). The billion-pound highway in the sky would connect the city to a proposed HS2 hub, the council says. They proposed a metro encompassing two lanes, one 12 km long lane connecting Bab al-Louq and Ismailia and a second 5 km lane connecting Boulaq and Abou al-Ela Castle. These two monorail lines will be the first mass transit links between Greater Cairo and the New Administrative Capital and 6th October City. The first monorail line will extend 54 km from East Cairo to the New Administrative Capital. Again on 10 May 2018, the ministry of transportation agreed to raise the ticket prices to be EGP 3 for 9 stops, EGP 5 for 16 stops and EGP 7 for more than 16 stops. These facts created the need for the government to device new population centers away from the congested Cairo streets. [24]:15 The third would be from Giza to Abbaseya and would be 11.5 km long. [18], Line 1 (blue) is the oldest line of the Cairo Metro, with its first 29-kilometre (18 mi) segment having opened in 1987. The line was expected to be 35 km long, cost $1.5 billion, and be completed by 2018. © INNOVA TECHNOLOGIES INC.© 2021 [24]:16 Lastly, in 1969, the government approved the need for a study showing the needed capacity for Cairo's transportation system. Cairo is the capital of Egypt with a population of over 20 million. The monorail will have two lines, one running from Cairo west to 6th of October City, and the other east to the Ministerial District of the New Administrative Capital (see map, below). The New Cairo Monorail. [41] This phase will have 15 stations to be constructed with a duration of 6.5 years. Cairo Monorail Another project that is integral to the development of Egypt’s infrastructure is the Cairo Monorail project, which will act as a mass transportation project across Cairo, the New Administrative Capital, Giza, and 6th of October City. The new monorail will connect the New Administrative Capital with the corridors of Mohammed Ben Zayed, Street 90, al-Musher Tantawy, Nasr City’s seventh district, the Cairo International Stadium, and Youssef Abass Street. Innova is working directly for a civil joint venture (Civil Works Joint Venture, or CWJV) of the two largest construction companies in Egypt, Orascom Construction Inc. and Arab Contractors. [citation needed] Mitsubishi was the only company to submit an offer on a tender for 64 trains in the third and fourth phases of the project. The Cairo Monorails Project consists of precast concrete guideway beams used for a monorail system in a highly urban environment. Two monorail lines in the Egyptian capital will create the first public transport links from the New Administrative Capital (NAC) and 6th of October City to the Greater Cairo area when the project is complete. To accommodate those needs, the Cairo Monorails project alignments radiate outward from Cairo city center as follows: A 33 mile (53 km) long monorail will serve New Capital City. Phase 1 bidding has been postponed until May 2015 to enable Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) to complete the feasibility study and to resolve other problems with the construction starts by 2015 or 2016 according to Ismail El-Nagdy, Chairman of National Authority for Tunnels with Japan International Cooperation Agency financing $1.2 billion loan while Egyptian government covering the rest of $2.4 billion.
