Prime Minister Ibrahim Mahlab and Cairo Governor Galal Mostafa will open Saturday a bridge to serve Cairo residents.

"The 17-kilometer length and 40-meter width bridge will link the Ring Road and Marg district with Matariya, Ein Sham and Mustorod neighborhoods," Mostafa said.

He added that three slums were removed to complete the establishment of the bridge.

The governorate set up 1,000 homes to accommodate the affected people, he added.
