Cairo Metro Line 2 is the second line of the Cairo Metro in Cairo, Egypt. ==History== Cairo's metro network was greatly expanded in the mid-1990s with the building of Line 2 (red), from Shoubra-El-Kheima to Cairo University, with an extension to Giza. It is the first line in history to have a tunnel going under the Nile. The tunnel under the Nile is 8.35m in internal diameter and was constructed using two Herenknecht bentonite slurry shield TBMs, which are 9.43m in diameter.〔 Extending with 20 stations, it is sometimes called the "Japanese-Built Line". It is mostly in bored tunnel, with two exceptions: a short section at the northern end approaching Shubra El-Kheima which is elevated, and a section just south of this by cut-and-cover. The main difference between Lines 1 and 2 is that Line 1 uses an overhead line while Line 2 uses the third-rail system. The construction of the line was finished in October 2000 and was later extended to El Mounib.〔 The communication for line 2 was provided by Alcatel in 2005. Total project cost was 761 million euros. After the 2011 Egyptian revolution, the station "Mubarak" has been renamed and is now called "Al-Shohadaa" (Arabic for "martyrs"). * October 1996 Shobra - Mubarak (now:"Al-Shohadaa"), 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.urbanrail.net/af/cairo/cairo.htm )〕 * Sept 1998: Mubarak (now:"Al-Shohadaa") - Sadat, 〔 * April 19, 1999: Sadat - Cairo University, (including crossing of the Nile)〔 * October 8, 2000: Cairo University - Giza Suburban 〔 * January 17, 2005: Omm el Misryeen - Monib 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cairo Metro Line 2」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
