As part of the Future University in Egypt's (FUE) keenness to highlight the role of the country in achieving comprehensive development and its influence on the national economy, a new session of the " Forum of Future Policies", was held today (Tuesday) by the University's Faculty of Economics and Political Science during which Prof. Hesham Arafat, Vice President of the Board of Trustees and Professor of Engineering at FUE gave a speech. He spoke about the national road and bridge projects under the slogan "New Arteries for Comprehensive Development". The Forum is under the support of Dr. Khaled Azazy, Chairman of the Board of Trustees.
During the session, which was held through live transmission via "Zoom" technology Prof. Hesham Arafat said that the national road project provided about 800,000 direct and indirect jobs. He added that Egypt witnessed a huge upsurge during the reign of President Sisi and achieved a great leap in the quality of roads in comparison to the rest of the world, which aided in improving the Egyptian economy indicators.
The Vice Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Future University in Egypt confirmed that 30 years ago Egypt used foreign experience in projects of Nile bridges, while currently Egypt executed 26 bridges and an axis on the Nile, with the planning and execution done by Egyptian hands, and that the resurgence Egypt witnessed in the national project is due to it being an Egyptian project with Egyptian planning and vision. The step Egypt took back in 2014 saved it from major economic consequences, contributed to a significant shift in the developmental paths, and created numerous investment and development opportunities. The future results are very promising.
Arafat revealed the axis of "Shobra/Benha" and how it contributed to the development move. He said that this axis is parallel to the old Alexandria/Agricultural Road, confirming that the journey used to take about an hour and a half to three hours in a distance of 40 kilometers. The average speed in this short distance reached 15 kilometers on the weekend to the extent that citizens had to have Iftar on the road during Ramadan. He explained that now, after the new axis was executed, the average journey took only 25 minutes, and that the axis saved about 700 million pounds of fuel, time and carbon emissions. Not to mention, it reduced incidents and contributed to increasing the classification of development indicators in Egypt.
Arafat pointed out that one of the great projects carried out by the country was the Regional Ring Road, saying that execution of this project began in 2002, and until 2013 40 kilometers were executed, and 360 kilometers from 2013 to 2019. This axis is considered the longest circular axis in Africa. He added that the project of developing the current Ring Road is a big challenge and compassionated those who developed it. Clarifying that when the road was established the nearest building was 250 meters away, while the residential buildings are now on the road line, making it a big challenge for the country. The country is currently carrying out a big project, he added that is the monitoring and technology of the road in tracking and the electronic gates. This is a huge achievement that achieves the sustainable development that president Sisi is seeking.
