6th October Bridge, Road bridge in Cairo, Egypt
The 6th October Bridge stretches over 20.5 kilometers across Cairo, connecting the Gezira district to Nasr City through multiple elevated sections.
Construction of the bridge began in 1969, with a ten-year interruption due to economic conditions, and was completed in stages until 1999.
The bridge received its name in 1973 during the construction of its fourth phase, replacing its original designation as Ramses Bridge.
The structure includes 23 ramps and access points with widths between 7 and 8 meters, facilitating traffic flow between central Cairo and its suburbs.
The bridge foundations extend between 18 and 28 meters underground, with support columns rising between 9 and 22 meters above ground level.
