Transport Minister Highlights Dabaa Axis Benefits
Transport Minister Kamel El-Wazir spoke about measuring the true return from transportation projects, emphasizing that it is not limited to the number of kilometers completed but includes three integrated benefits: economic, by supporting investment and generating added value; social, by providing employment opportunities, reducing travel times, and improving access; and environmental, through decreasing fuel consumption and emissions. The minister reviewed the developmental impact of the Dabaa Axis project, which connects Cairo to the North Coast and shortens the travel time to 2.5 hours. The project has resulted in the reclamation of 200,000 acres of land, attracted investments worth 8 billion Egyptian pounds from 2014 to 2025, created 381,000 jobs, and reduced fuel consumption by approximately 2 billion pounds annually. He pointed out that these projects support agricultural and urban development and deliver comprehensive economic, social, and environmental benefits.
