Urgent Traffic Plan in East Cairo to Alleviate Congestion Near Joseph Tito and Sindbad Bridges

Joseph Tito Axis.

The relevant authorities have commenced urgent maintenance and repair works aimed at enhancing the road leading to the entrance of the Joseph Tito axis and beneath the Sindbad Bridge for vehicles coming from the Sheraton area and Airport Bridge towards October 6 Street and Abdel Hamid Badawy axis. This initiative is part of efforts to improve traffic flow and upgrade the road network in East Cairo.

Due to ongoing works under the Sindbad Bridge towards Abdel Hamid Badawy axis and October 6 Street, the General Traffic Department of Cairo has advised drivers to utilize several alternative routes to avoid construction zones. Those coming from Salah Salem and Airport Bridge heading towards Nasr City and Joseph Tito are recommended to make a U-turn at the Military Academy, then proceed via Abdel Aziz Fahmy Street to reach Nasr City and Gesr El Suez.

For drivers approaching from Million Trees axis and Nasr axis heading to Nasr City and October 6 Street, it is suggested to take the airport road before returning to Joseph Tito axis. Additionally, those coming from Almazah area and Army Bridge towards Nasr City or October 6 Street should use Triumph or Al-Hegaz streets to avoid heavy traffic congestion.

The Salah Salem area has experienced high traffic density in the direction leading to Airport Bridge and Sheraton areas. Consequently, travelers from downtown Cairo heading to Cairo International Airport are advised to use Nasr axis and enter the airport via Million Trees Road. Those heading towards Nasr City are encouraged to take Khalifa Al-Ma’moun axis.

Traffic flow is being monitored on-site under the supervision of Major General Mohamed Saif, Deputy Head of the General Traffic Department of Cairo for the Eastern Sector. He has instructed an increase in traffic services and an urgent plan to accommodate traffic on East Cairo axes, alongside deploying field services and necessary signage around construction areas to ensure public safety and facilitate mobility during the repair period.
