Besides the extreme amounts of pollution that will be introduced once traffic is allowed on the highway, and the potential of people taking shortcuts via their balconies and through the highway, the lower floors will now be, quite literally, left in the dark with many residents and shops having to continue their lives living under a highway bridge.

The bridge can be found on an axis in the Giza Governorate, passing through Nasr El-Din Street in Al-Haram, Cairo. It is 12 kilometers long and up to 65.5 meters wide. It is estimated to cost around 5 billion Egyptian pounds, or almost 317 million US dollars.
