Cairo – Mubasher: Hassan Allam Construction, a subsidiary of Hassan Allam Holding, teamed up with The Arab Contractors for the implementation of the infrastructure works for the Alexandria Raml Tram rehabilitation project.
The project, awarded by the National Authority for Tunnels (NAT), includes the rehabilitation of a 13.2-kilometer tram line and the construction of a modern maintenance depot, according to a press release.
The companies will also develop elevated viaducts at key traffic intersections and upgrade 24 stations along the route.
These changes are set to reduce journey times from 60 to 35 minutes by expanding operational speed from 11 km/h to 21 km/h. Moreover, they will cut headways from nine minutes to just three, tripling hourly capacity from 4,700 to 13,800 passengers in each direction.
Hassan Allam, CEO of Hassan Allam Holding, said: “Revitalizing the historic Raml Tram will not only improve urban mobility in Alexandria but also preserve a vital piece of the city’s cultural identity. We are proud to play a role in delivering sustainable infrastructure that supports national development goals.”
