The fast-growing city of Zhengzhou, a major transportation hub in the heart of China, was in need of an additional elevated expressway to increase traffic capacity to 18 lanes from 10 lanes on the fourth ring transportation corridor.

Built at the crossroads of major railways and roadways in Cairo, the Adly Mansour Transportation Hub provides a modern link for the city’s heavily used rail lines and bus routes.

Despite a contract duration of nearly five years, the project team delivered this two-way, four-lane expressway that spans 151 km, or 93 miles, with a 25.5-m-wide roadbed from Rongjiang Town to Lijiang City in China, six months ahead of schedule.
