Work is under way to resurface and upgrade a 15-kilometre section of the Edfu–Marsa Alam road, between kilometre 80 and kilometre 95, Aswan Governor Amr Lashin said after inspecting the site.
The General Authority for Roads and Bridges is carrying out the work with Transport Ministry support, at an estimated cost of about EGP 180 million. The project is scheduled to be finished within nine months.
Islam Fawzi, who heads the central administration of the authority's branch, said the works would improve the road's technical condition and traffic flow. Lashin described the route as a strategic link between Red Sea destinations, Hurghada and Marsa Alam among them, and the town of Edfu.
