Monorail project west of Nile (Wadi El-Nile - 6th of October)
The West Nile Monorail project links the Greater Cairo Region with the new urban areas (New 6th of October) and the industrial zone in 6th of October City.
The West Monorail line serves the large expansions in the city of 6 October, such as the social housing project, development projects south of October and the southern expansions, as well as linking with the Greater Cairo metro line 4.
The length of the West Nile Monorail line is 43.8 km, and the number of stations is 13.
It is planned that the service of this line will interchange with the Greater Cairo Metro Line 3- Phase3 at Wadi El-Nil Station.
The final alignment and locations of the stations were approved according to the results of the transport study for the project.
The project provides a fast, modern, safe and environmentally friendly means of transportation for passengers.
The project contributes to sustainable development east and west of the Nile to achieve Egypt’s Vision 2030, as the transportation system is one of the arteries of urban and economic development.
The project achieves an economic return as a result of saving fuel consumption, reducing environmental pollution rates, reducing traffic jams on main axes and streets, and attracting a percentage of passengers to use this method instead of using private cars.
It provides direct and indirect job opportunities during implementation and permanent job opportunities in the operational stage.
