Background
The project involves the rehabilitation of the tramway network in Alexandria, Egypt. The tramway network consists of two lines: the Raml line and the Al Madina line. It came into service in 1863 and is the oldest in Africa and the Middle East.
The rehabilitation will be done on the Raml line which extends about 13.8 km from the Victoria station to the Raml station and then on to Manshya square, serving 28 stations.
The rehabilitation project aims to transform the Raml line into a modern and efficient tramway with modern infrastructure, signalling and traction power supply systems and new rolling stock.
The project is expected to increase the tramway’s capacity from 100,000 daily passengers to 230,000.
