Egypt’s Road Quality Ranking Just Jumped From 118th to 75th Globally
Egypt has witnessed hundreds of new investment and infrastructure projects in the past few years. According to experts, 5,000 km of new roads were successfully added. According to the Egyptian Minister of Transport Hisham Arafat, Egypt’s ranking just jumped from 118th to the 75th globally.
According to the Ministry of Transport, Egypt has spent 22.5 billion Egyptian pounds during the renovations. Chinese news outlet, Xinhuanet, reported that before Egypt implemented the national roads project in 2014, the country had only 24,000 km of roads nationwide, according to Emad Nabil, Professor of Traffic and Roads Engineering in Cairo University,
“Maintaining roads will be a new routine in Egypt. In the past roads were built without restoration plans,” the Egyptian Professor noted. The project helped attract investments and create thousands of job opportunities.
