The bridge project is considered one of the largest infrastructure developments in the Dakahlia Governorate to address long-standing traffic gridlock.
It replaces the old level-crossing system, which historically caused hours of delays due to frequent rail traffic.
The multi-level design includes specialized ramps to facilitate flow toward different governorate districts without entering the congested city core.
The project construction required significant coordination with Egyptian National Railways to ensure safe transit over active electrified and cargo lines.
Sandoub Bridge is a critical multi-level elevated transit interchange located at the eastern entrance of Mansoura. It serves as a vital artery connecting the city to the Cairo-Mansoura agricultural road and the Aga-Mit Ghamr axis. The structure features a complex network of ramps and flyovers designed to bypass the traditional railway crossing bottleneck that previously caused significant traffic congestion in the Sandoub district. It spans over the main railway tracks and incorporates multiple levels to manage high-volume vehicular traffic. The engineering design integrates several distinct bridges and underpasses into a single cohesive transportation project. This facility is a primary gateway for travelers arriving in the Dakahlia Governorate from the direction of Cairo. It significantly reduced travel times for commuters entering and exiting Mansoura city center.
The elevated vantage point from the highest level of the bridge provides a panoramic view of the Mansoura skyline.
Use the bridge during off-peak hours to avoid the intense commuter traffic that frequently clogs the ramps.
Keep a GPS navigation system active, as the multiple levels and exit ramps can be confusing for drivers unfamiliar with the junction.
Exercise caution when merging, as local driving habits in this high-traffic area are aggressive and fast-paced.
Do not attempt to walk on the bridge structure; it is designed exclusively for vehicular traffic and lacks pedestrian walkways.
