S\u00e3o Paulo – Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi on Wednesday (15) launched the world’s widest suspension bridge over the River Nile.

At its widest, the bridge has six traffic lanes in each direction and measures 67.3 meters across, according to Reuters<\/em><\/a>. Around one million cubic meters of concrete as well as 1,400 km of steel wire for 160 suspension cables were used in its construction. It spans 540 meters.<\/p>\n

The bridge crosses the Nile in North Cairo and was named Tahya Misr Bridge (\u201cLong Live Egypt”). It is part of Rod El-Farag road and connects the east and west of the capital with the Cairo-Alexandria desert road. It links the Mediterranean to the Red Sea. The project is partly aimed at reducing congestion on the capital’s traffic-clogged streets.<\/p>\n
