Hassan Allam begins work on electric train project

Hassan Allam Construction has begun civil construction and infrastructure work at the planned Al-Salam City-new capital-Tenth of Ramadan electric train line, alongside other contractors, Business Development Manager Medhat Tawfik said. The work is expected to be completed by June 2020. The company’s exact share size as well as its value has yet to be decided, Tawfik said. China earlier this week signed contracts worth USD 571 mn with seven Egyptian contractors to build the 70-km line, which is expected to be completed in two years and serve some 350k passengers per day.
