The Cairo Traffic Administration announced on Saturday, October 3, 2026, that Ibn Sander Street will be completely closed for 10 days to allow for the completion of sewer line repair works. The closure affects the section of the street between its intersections with Seraya Al-Qubba Street and Beni Aqil Street. The decision aims to address a land subsidence issue that has been affecting the area.
To facilitate traffic flow, alternative routes have been designated for drivers. Those heading from the start of Ibn Sander Street will be redirected to turn right onto Seraya Al-Qubba Street, then left onto Al-Shafa Street, followed by a left turn onto Beni Aqil Street, and finally a right turn back onto Ibn Sander Street after passing the work zone. This diversion is intended to minimize disruptions to traffic.
The repair works and traffic diversions will be in place for 10 days, starting from October 3, 2026. The Cairo Traffic Administration has deployed necessary traffic services to manage potential congestion and ensure smooth traffic flow. The administration is working in coordination with the contractors to execute the repairs efficiently.
The traffic administration has taken measures to inform the public about the road closure and diversion through various means. Additionally, technical aids and signs have been placed in the area to alert drivers and pedestrians about the ongoing work. These precautions are aimed at ensuring public safety and security during the repair period.
The closure of Ibn Sander Street is part of a broader effort to maintain and upgrade Cairo's infrastructure. The repair of the sewer line is crucial to preventing further land subsidence and ensuring the stability of the area. Authorities are working diligently to complete the repairs within the scheduled timeframe.
The decision to close Ibn Sander Street has been communicated to the public in advance to minimize inconvenience.
