A lot of people have, however, objected to the highway’s construction, not only stating the problems mentioned previously, but also explaining that the permits to build these residential buildings were acquired back in 2008 and thus cannot be deemed illegal.

Member of Parliament Mohamed Fouad has been pushing for reconsideration of the construction project, stating that it not only puts the residents in danger on a physical as well as privacy level, but it also directly impacts the businesses situated under the highway.

People directly or indirectly affected by this project have been echoing these same concerns on social media, leading to the pictures gaining a lot of attention on Facebook, Twitter, and Imgur.
