Aligned with the governmental
emphasis on developing Upper Egypt governorates,
transverse roads are considered one of the most important
methods to conduct various developmental projects in these
regions. A number of localities in Egypt are well-known by
the presence of swelling soils such as; Nasr – City, Cairo –
Suez Road, El – Fayoum, Kom Ombo, Aswan, New Valley
and El – Sadat City. Sohag – Safaga highway and the buffer
area around it (Fig. 1) is considered to be a development investible
transportation corridor and one of the most important
lateral connections between Upper Egypt and Red Sea and
its ports. The area east of Sohag (the study area) suffers from
the presence of Pliocene clay that is characterized by its swelling
nature (Youssef, 2008).
