KMC inspects development works of Shara-e-Quaideen

Karachi—KMC Administrator Muhammad Hussain Syed said here on Thursday that 60 percent work of reconstruction of Shahrea-e-Quaideen was completed and the corridor was expected to be available for vehicular traffic within three months.

He expressed these views during a visit to review the development works of Shahra-e-Quaideen along with the Director General Technical Services Altaf G. Memon, engineers concerned and other high officials.

The Administrator Karachi was informed that the service road on both side of main corridor had already been completed and the traffic going to Society Chowrangi from Shahrea-e-Faisal had been provided with two lane service roads with a total width of 24 feet.

In order to make the double carriage way safe for traffic on both sides New Jersey barriers would be installed in the middle, he added.

He said that construction of a pedestrian bridge on the Shahra-e-Quaideen was also part of this project whereas a pedestrian bridge was already available at this corridor and with the installation of another one the people would get considerable convenience in crossing the road.

The Administrator directed Technical Services Department to ensure round the clock work on this project so that it could be completed in time. He also instructed that International Ashto Standards should be complied with in the reconstruction of Shara-e-Quaideen as this corridor was considered one of the most important roads in the city and the access way to the Quaid-e-Azam’s Mausoleum which is used by important dignitaries.

He further said that this road was constructed 30 years ago and had been in a dilapidated condition whereas the wall of roadside drain was also broken which caused accidents on this corridor. The reconstruction of Shahrea-e-Quaideen would not only improve the traffic flow on this important road but also minimize the chances of traffic related accidents.—APP

I don't think money would be that big of problem because I remember reading that countries like Japan were willing to invest in the metro project. As for the security thing, there is a risk but it'll probably be a couple of years before there's a functioning metro (that's assuming they finalize everything and start building it soon) so maybe by then law and order might be better. But in the long run metro trains will be the best and needed for cities like Karachi and Lahore.

Lowari Tunnel nearly done

Almost 45% of construction work has been completed on the Lowari Tunnel project, on Nowshera-Dir-Chitral Road (N-45), with an expenditure of over Rs 6 billion. The project is to be completed in July 2017, with a total expected expenditure of Rs 12 billion.

An official from the Ministry of Communications told agencies on Sunday that the project, on completion, would facilitate all-weather and all year-round transportation. This would not only benefit Khyber Pakhtunkhwa but would open new avenues of development and establish durable road links with Afghanistan and Central Asian States.

He said that when the Lowari Tunnel project began in 2005 it was planned to be constructed in two phases. In the first phase, the 8.54 km long tunnel was to be constructed with access roads, while in the second phase a railway track was to be laid.

The main tunnel has a 7.14 meter maximum height and 7.55 meter maximum width. There are two access roads on both sides of the tunnel, from Dir and Darosh that are 9.3 km and 9.2 km long, respectively.

The auxiliary tunnel is two km long. The project could not be completed in October 2008 as planned, in October 2009 the present government decided to change the project design from a rail tunnel to a road tunnel. Work on the project was discontinued again in June 2011, primarily due to financial constraints. There was an allocation of Rs 164 million under the 2010-11 PSDP but most of the funds had not been released.

As one of the longest tunnels in Asia, the Lowari Tunnel is of great national importance and would contribute to the socio-economic wellbeing of the area. After its completion, rich minerals and other natural resources could be exploited, this would result in promoting trade and industry, as well as tourism, in the region, the ministry official added.

Lowari Tunnel will open the Chitral valley to the world, establishing durable road links with Central Asian Republics and Afghanistan.

Kya baat - Fantastic!

Thanks all, 1 point though.

Saadgi main bhi qayamat ki ada hoti hai!

Karachi has a natural, uber business-like, secular saadgi ka arch. style;
when builders go out of their way to 'Islamicize' their projects they end up like Dubai ... hehe ... in the 80's only.

An Multi-Disciplinary Urban Infra., Building and Art's Council type body needed to take in overall and over-reaching city integrity; otherwise you will end up like khichdee Indian cities which go from slums to $ mega billion developments even though each has a distinct colonial heritage. Think sylvan, Baker & Lutyens' colonial-monumental Indo-Saracenic New Delhi Vs. Victorian Calcutta Vs. Edwardian-Victorian and Art Deco Vs. Vs. Madras or Colonial Bangalore
