Incredible shots of the construction of the Autobahns in Egyptian style blew up the Web in a matter of hours. At first, users did not believe their eyes, but after the fact of the construction of a high-speed highway right next to residential apartment buildings confirmed, they were perplexed: "How is this possible ?!" In fact, in Giza, in order to connect the two ring roads, one of the overpass branches had to be raised to level of the 6th floor. Now the highway runs at a distance of only... 50 cm from balconies and windows, and in some places even 20 cm!
The construction of a new highway in Giza, near the Egyptian capital of Cairo, has become a real sensation around the world. In one section, the road passes a few centimeters from multi-storey residential buildings - so close that residents can climb from their balconies on floors 5-6 to the new expressway, which will be called "Teraet Al-Zomor Bridge" Bridge ").
This vital overpass will soon link two ring roads to the capital, Cairo. It is this part of the highway that is designed to unload traffic to the maximum and improve the city's infrastructure.
It would seem that you can be happy for the residents of this area of Giza, but you should not rush, because the place where this overpass passes is precisely captured in those pictures and causes a real shock. Moreover, not only among the residents of four high-rise buildings, where the highway came close to the windows, but also among all the people who saw the whole process with their own eyes.
And the worst thing is that in this terrible situation you can't even determine who is "lucky" more, so residents who are under the bridge and will never see sunlight again, or those who will live above by the freeway. And that's not to mention those people whose windows will be completely covered by the massive highway platform.
In this terrible situation, in an attempt to stop what was happening, the residents of the houses and the public turned to the Ministry of Housing of the country. As it became known to the editors of Novate. Ru, the head of Egypt's Central Building Agency, Mahmoud Nassar, very nicely and correctly talks about the benefits of the flyover for the entire city. But at the expense of the houses that were in the epicenter of construction, he said that they simply are not on the city map and they were built illegally, on unauthorizedly seized empty lands, that's why the highway calculated.
The residents of the most affected high-rise buildings strongly disagree with this. They claim that they have all the permits and were legalized back in 2008. For this reason, they demand immediate resettlement and full compensation for damaged housing, because in such conditions it is impossible and dangerous to health even now. As it turned out, electricity and water supply were already cut off in these houses.
But the authorities persist, so most likely people will have to leave their homes without any help from the city. And not only the residents of the fourth floor, completely enclosed by a concrete structure, but everyone else cannot avoid eviction, after all, the lower part of the houses ended up in a dark tunnel, and the upper part will suffocate from exhaust gases, dust and deafen from the incredible noise.
Although for those tenants whose high-rise buildings entered the zone of greatest risk, but were built on a legal basis, compensation and full or partial resettlement are provided. According to the head of the construction department, more than 16 million rubles have already been allocated for these needs. dollars
Reference: For the creation of an important infrastructure project in the form of a high-speed overpass with a length of 12.5 km, 317 million dollars were allocated from the treasury of the country and the city.
Apparently, this considerable amount did not include the costs of dismantling multi-storey buildings and resettlement of residents of the problem area, whose houses are considered self-built. The Parliament has already joined in solving this issue. So, for example, Mohamed Fuad insists on revising the construction project, arguing that it not only endangers the health and privacy of life the residents themselves, but also directly affects the shops, hairdressers and other businesses located on the ground floors of buildings that are located under expensive.

But the construction has already progressed very far to talk about its termination and dismantling. And whether they will be able to solve this problem at the end of the work is difficult to predict. The only surprise is why such an important issue was not resolved at the design stage, then it would definitely be possible to avoid such an absurd and unsafe situation.

Well, in the meantime, on social networks Facebook and Twitter, users are already scoffing at the obviously pathetic planning of a responsible construction company. There are jokes about passengers asking bus drivers to drop them off on their balconies. Others joke that they can now park right in the living room or collect flyover tolls from the balcony. But most of all "worried" about the fact that residents may die under the wheels of a car... while sleeping. All jokes, but the residents of Nasr El-Din Street are not at all laughable, because the organizers of such a "miracle" they plan that along this busy transit overpass, in the direction of Cairo, 750 thousand people will be able to rush. cars (!) per... day.
While some would-be designers turn the lives of townspeople into a living hell, others create truly heavenly corners among clean air, silence and completely surrounded by wildlife. Unique skyscrapers and whole residential complexes appear on our planet more and more often, whose facades have been turned into a real jungle.
