The General Directorate of Traffic closed the “Cairo-Alexandria” agricultural road coming from Alexandria to Cairo due to the subsidence of one of the tiles of the Mit Barra Bridge (Banha Bridge No.

The traffic department made traffic diversions to the bottom of the regional to force cars to take the beginning of the regional for a distance of 500 meters, then descend again and return to the agricultural road after passing the landing area, and traffic services were appointed until the completion of repair work.

The Traffic Department coordinated with the Roads and Bridges Authority in the Central Delta region by placing technical aids, illuminated mills, and guiding signs to direct cars to the place of transfer at a sufficient distance.








Inconvenient as it may be for commuters, the closure of the Mit Barra Bridge on the “Cairo-Alexandria” agricultural road was a necessary step taken by the General Directorate of Traffic due to the subsidence of one of its tiles. The traffic department has made alternative arrangements for drivers, forcing them to take a diversion until repair works are complete. Coordinating with the Roads and Bridges Authority, the department has placed technical aids, illuminated mills, and guiding signs to direct cars to the place of transfer at a sufficient distance. We hope that the repair work is completed in a timely manner so that commuters can return to their normal routes without any inconvenience.
