The General Directorate of Traffic for Cairo announced the complete closure of the lower Al-Azhar Bridge (Ahmed Maher), specifically the direction traveling from Bab El Sha’reya to Bab El Khalk, starting this morning, Thursday, for a period of seven days.
In a statement, the Traffic Directorate indicated that several traffic adjustments were made to prevent congestion and disruption, primarily redirecting traffic from the closed lower bridge segment onto the upper roadway toward Al-Azhar Street until the work is finished.
The Cairo Traffic Department also confirmed that traffic services have been deployed around the work zone, with directional signs installed to inform drivers of the altered routes.
These measures are being implemented in coordination with the construction companies to manage any expected congestion and ensure smooth traffic flow, prioritizing citizen safety and security.
