French construction company NGE has signed a contract to build 330km of a high-speed train line connecting the Red Sea Port of Sokhna with Borg al-Arab near the Mediterranean port of Alexandria, it said on Thursday.


Egypt's National Authority for Tunnels in May signed a contract with Siemens Mobility, Orascom Construction (OC.DI) and Arab Contractors to build about 2,000km of high-speed railway for what would be the world sixth-largest such network.


A section awarded to NGE is part of a 600km double-track line that will further extend to Marsa Matrouh on Egypt's north west coast, an NGE statement said. The construction will be carried out by NGE subsidiary TSO.
