The National Authority for Tunnels is set to complete the studies on building the Cairo Metro Line 5 by the end of the year, authority chief Tarek Gamaleldin told Amwal Al Ghad. The project has an expected execution time of three years and a total cost of around EGP 25 bn once studies are completed, he added.
