The Ministry of Transport recently shared images of the West Nile Monorail project being implemented to connect the 6th of October areas with Mohandessin, linking to the third metro line at Nile Valley station as well as the Upper Egypt train station at Bashtil station. The monorail will also link to the New Administrative Capital via the third metro line, the monorail, and the light train. The project is being implemented in areas where it is difficult to establish other railway transportation methods, and monorails are able to maneuver through narrow and crowded streets with large horizontal curves without the need for modifications to facilities or significant expropriation works. The West Nile Monorail project connects Mohandessin and Imbaba with the 6th of October City, the high-density 26th of July axis, and the city’s industrial zone. Another monorail project links Nasr City with the New Administrative Capital, passing through high-density residential blocks and heading to the axis of Field Marshal Tantawi and Southern Teseen Street to Beit Al Watan.
