Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly and his accompanying delegation inaugurated on Sunday, June 7, 2026, the General Soliman Ezzat Bridge connecting 45th Street with the International Coastal Road during his inspection tour in Alexandria Governorate. Following the unveiling of the curtain, Minister of Housing, Utilities, and Urban Communities Randa El-Minshawy emphasized that the General Soliman Ezzat Bridge is a new traffic artery extending from the heart of Alexandria to the International Coastal Road, providing effective solutions to traffic congestion in the eastern part of the city.
She explained that the project is one of the largest strategic infrastructure undertakings designed to improve traffic flow. Governor of Alexandria Ayman Attia noted that the bridge represents a major addition to the governorate's transport network, which aims to reduce bottlenecks by 15% to 25% in vital areas.
He indicated that the governorate plans to optimize the spaces beneath the bridge for public benefit while preventing random parking to maintain the area's civilized appearance. In this context, the Prime Minister intervened and directed authorities to accelerate the utilization of these vacant spaces for sports activities, such as five-a-side football and tennis courts, in coordination with the Ministry of Housing.
