Two tunnels for cars, the first tunnel from Port Said to Sinai and the other is vice versa. The project objective is to link between Sinai, East of the Suez Canal and Delta. Besides, it facilitates the movement of the passengers and goods from Sinai and having the inspired development for this region in parallel with the development of Sinai and Canal region.

New crossing under the Canal is designed to allow the passage of all types of buses, cars, lorries and articulated trucks. Also, the Design must satisfy the relevant international specifications for the alignment, design, safety and operation.

The design and environmental studies for the tunnels under Suez Canal was carried out in collaboration with Paymacotas. Consultancy services for the construction of two road tunnels with a total length of approximately 4 Km and the assessment of the feasibility of a third tunnel for railway under the Suez Canal were optimized in location to satisfy the development needs of the Suez Canal corridor.
