The European Investment Bank has signed a EUR 1.2 million Technical Assistance agreement with the Egyptian National Authority for Tunnels to conduct a Feasibility Study for the rehabilitation of Cairo Metro Line 2.
 
The study, which is funded through the Economic Resilience Initiative (ERI), will define and describe the upgrade and renewal of the Line 2 systems, including infrastructure and rolling stock, necessary to meet the capacity and passenger demands of the coming years; and to extend the life expectancy of the system for 25 more years.
 
The EIB’s technical assistance comes in the context of the overall Egyptian government’s plan to improve the performance of the Public Transport System in Cairo, including the renovation and upgrade of Cairo Metro Line 2.
 
The advisory services will mobilise consultants to do a survey of the current state of all systems and structures of line 2 of the Cairo metro network, and then prepare a functional design and tender documentation to allow the National Tunnel Authority to start procurement of the works.
