The Giza Governorate has announced a temporary closure on Al-Wahat Road to facilitate the lifting of overhead high voltage electricity cables as part of the Eastern Expansion Substation connection project. The closure will affect both directions near the Dahshour Link Road.

This operation will require a complete closure for just 10 minutes at a time over four phases, lasting four days. The schedule is as follows:.

1. Friday, June 19, 2026: Work will take place from 2 AM to 10 AM, with a complete closure for only 10 minutes during this period. Normal traffic flow will resume outside of this brief closure.
2. Saturday, June 20, 2026: Work will occur from 2 AM to 5 AM, again with a closure of only 10 minutes during the work hours, while normal traffic will continue at other times.

The Giza Traffic Department has coordinated with the General Traffic Administration to implement the following detours:.

1. First Alternative Route: Vehicles on Al-Wahat Road coming from the tourist road wishing to continue towards October City must divert into the deceleration lane and turn right onto Educational Buildings Road. They should then turn left onto Diggers Club Street until reaching Dahshour Link Road, where they can turn around and return towards Al-Wahat Road after passing the work area.
2. Second Alternative Route: Vehicles on Al-Wahat Road coming from October City wanting to head towards the tourist road should also divert into the deceleration lane. They should turn right onto NileSat Road and then left onto Wholesale Market Street until they reach Al-Wahat Road after passing the construction site.

The Giza Governorate emphasized that the Traffic Department will place necessary traffic signs and warnings around the work area to ensure public safety. Additionally, traffic personnel will be deployed to manage traffic flow effectively.
