This includes installing the signaling system, power infrastructure and a control center, as well as producing 34 passenger and 10 goods carriages. Siemens will be paid USD 3 bn on a 15-year maintenance contract, and payments will only be due six years after the project has begun, El Wazir said. Local companies will receive USD 5.2 bn for the construction (although arrears to local companies are open to negotiation), the minister said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>French public transport consultant Systra is also on board, <\/strong>and has already worked with the government to estimate cost metrics, El Wazir noted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s the current status? <\/strong>Planning and surveying work as well as initial work on stations and fences has already been completed. The first phase is expected to take two years to complete.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What about the rest of the network?<\/strong> The whole network will be built across four phases: one connecting Ain Sokhna and Alamein, a second from Alamein to Marsa Matrouh, a third between Hurghada, Safaga, Qena and Luxor, and a fourth running from the Sixth of October further west, El Wazir added.
