The government has decided to impose a “temporary total closure” for traffic coming from the intersection of the Regional Ring Road with the Alexandria Desert Road, up to the intersection of the Regional Ring Road with the Suez Desert Road, for one week starting at six am on Tuesday.
The Regional Ring Road has become the site of several accidents, such as one that took the lives of 19 people in Monufiya, and 10 others on Saturday at Giza, in the course of two weeks.
The decision aims to strengthen and improve traffic control and safety measures for temporary diversions, maintain them, and increase the installation of road signs, warning signs, and speed limiters.
Traffic density distribution on alternative roads will be reviewed at the beginning of the closure week.
The technical committee, comprised of representatives from the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Interior, as well as consultants and experts, began its work on Sunday.
The committee visited several locations along the Regional Ring Road where maintenance and upgrade work is underway.
This comes as part of President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi’s orders to study the temporary closure of these sectors until the completion of work.
The committee conducted field visits to assess the situation on the ground, identify the locations of closures, propose appropriate alternative traffic solutions, and identify the best solutions and alternative routes in the event of a partial or total closure.
Security sources revealed to Al-Masry Al-Youm that committees from the relevant traffic departments in the security directorates responsible for the Regional Ring Road sectors in four governorates have completed surveying and inspecting all work and maintenance sites that will be closed.
A professor of road and traffic engineering at Ain Shams University and a member of the technical committee, Hassan Mahdi, confirmed that the committee has conducted field visits to the areas undergoing road repair work to assess the situation and propose appropriate traffic alternatives.
