Youm7 reported on Wednesday that the new Kalabsha axis project in Aswan has been completed, and the road will soon be inaugurated by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi. The project, implemented by Egypt’s Ministry of Transport via the National Nile Company for General Constructing (NNGC), sought to connect the roads and cities on either side of the Nile River in Aswan. Among the bridges are a bridge spanning the Nile River, two bridges covering the eastern and western agricultural roads, a bridge over the western desert road, and finally, one cutting over the large Mallah drain. According to Saeed, the government’s increased spending on roads and bridges since 2018 has contributed to a 46 percent decrease in road accident deaths by 2020.
