Tomorrow, the pedestrian access to Ponte Italia 61 in Cairo will be reestablished.
The construction of the Cairo bridge, which connects Via Sanguinetti to the city center via Corso Mazzini and Corso Italia, has become a mysterious case. The project, known as the Cairo-Italy Bridge 61, has been the subject of much speculation due to its prolonged construction period and recent delays.
The group "+Cairo" has expressed concerns about the project, inquiring about the identity of the collaudatore, the individual responsible for overseeing the bridge's construction and safety. They have also asked for details about the load tests and collaudi performed on the bridge structures, the results of the stability tests for traffic on the bridge, and any remaining works to be done before the bridge is fully traversable.
The group has also questioned the details of the collaudo operations performed on the bridge, on what date the collaudo operations were carried out, and when the bridge will be fully usable for two-way traffic. In addition, they have presented an interrogation to ask when the collaudatore was appointed.
The works for the Cairo bridge, which started last April, were originally expected to last 4 months. However, the project has faced numerous challenges, including constant bad luck, problems with the subsystems, the rainiest spring in years, and the October flood. These issues have contributed to the delays in the construction, and the bridge will not fully restore two-way traffic until the end of August due to the curing times of the mortars.
Despite extensive searches, there are no specific reports or official statements about the Cairo-Italy Bridge 61 in recent construction or infrastructure reports. The search results primarily cover unrelated historical events, general construction trends in the Middle East, and unrelated infrastructure ventures.
Without further specific sources or official statements, the construction timeline and remaining obligations for the Cairo-Italy Bridge 61 cannot be confirmed or detailed. However, it is known that starting from 5 PM on Thursday, August 7, a lane in the direction of the city center-Via Sanguinetti will be opened to vehicles. The construction site will close after the pedestrian reopening to allow for final interventions.
A pedestrian walkway will serve as a "pressure valve" due to the start of Cairo Medievale. The Cairo bridge will reopen to pedestrians tomorrow, Wednesday, August 6, from 5 PM to 6 AM. It remains to be seen how the project will progress in the coming weeks and whether the group "+Cairo"'s questions will be answered.
- The group "+Cairo" has raised queries about the collaudatore involved in the Cairo-Italy Bridge 61, a concern that arises as this individual is responsible for ensuring the project's safety and construction process.
- With the upcoming opening of a lane for vehicles from Via Sanguinetti to the city center on August 7, questions persist about the completion status of the Cairo bridge, particularly regarding the remaining works and the resolution of the concerns raised by the group "+Cairo" in the finance, transportation, and, importantly, the industry sectors.
