The Egyptian governorate of Alexandria is moving forward with its 2026/2027 investment plan, focusing on road development projects. Mena Atif, Director of the Alexandria Roads Directorate, announced that the procedures for adopting the projects are being finalized. These projects aim to improve and maintain the road network in the governorate, specifically in the Productive and Second districts. The plan includes resurfacing, rehabilitation, and reconstruction of roads.

A delegation of representatives from the Egyptian Parliament, led by Dr. Mohamed Hussein Al-Hamami, Hisham Al-Rahmani, Ramadan Batea, and Ashraf Sardina, visited the Roads Directorate to discuss and follow up on several key issues. The main goal was to review the current status of road development projects and the implementation of the 2026/2027 investment plan. The delegation aimed to ensure that the projects meet the needs of the local community and improve the overall infrastructure.

During the meeting, Atif presented updates on the investment plan, highlighting the progress made in preparing for the implementation of road development projects. The plan prioritizes the rehabilitation of roads, improvement of traffic flow, and enhancement of road safety. The projects will be executed in phases, with a focus on addressing the most pressing needs in the Productive and Second districts.

One of the key projects discussed was the construction of a barrier on the road from Hoda 12 to Hoda 10. This project aims to reduce accidents and ensure the safety of citizens. The parliamentarians also discussed solutions and proposals for the development of the Sarakis Navigation Street and the removal of any obstacles that may hinder the implementation of these projects.

The meeting also touched on the preparations for the reconstruction of roads after the completion of utility works. This includes restoring roads to their original state and improving their efficiency. The parliamentarians emphasized the importance of completing ongoing projects, such as the one in the Escoat area, and ensuring that they meet the needs of the local community.

Al-Rahmani stated that these meetings are part of the ongoing efforts to monitor and coordinate with the executive authorities. The goal is to address the concerns and needs of citizens and accelerate the implementation of service projects. This coordination aims to improve the level of services and infrastructure, ultimately benefiting the residents of the Productive district.

The adoption of these road development projects reflects the Egyptian government's commitment to improving the infrastructure and quality of life in Alexandria. The projects are expected to enhance road safety, reduce congestion, and promote economic growth. The implementation of these projects will be closely monitored to ensure that they meet the needs of the local community and are completed on schedule.
