6th October Bridge

 In 2021 the president of Egypt ordered for the bridge to be expanded and upgraded.

Named in commemoration of the Yom Kippur War between Israel and Egypt, the 6th October Bridge in Cairo is the longest bridge in Africa. The 12.7-mile concrete structure took almost 30 years to build, with construction beginning in 1969 and finishing in 1996. Sometimes referred to as “the spinal cord of Cairo,” the 6th October Bridge carries 500,000 people daily across the Nile River and connects the city’s west bank suburbs, downtown, and international airport.
