KMC plans to build flyovers on Malir 15, Kala Board intersections
Karachi
After the completion of a flyover on Sharea Faisal near the Jinnah Terminal in the near future, the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) has announced that it has plans to build more flyovers on nearby busy road intersections of Malir 15 and Kala Board to ease up heavy flow of vehicular traffic on the National Highway.
Administrator KMC Muhammad Hussain Syed said this on Saturday while visiting and reviewing the ongoing mega developmental projects in the city. He said that a sum of Rs24 million had been earmarked in the annual budget for building these two proposed flyovers on the National Highway.
He said that with the building of these two flyovers, heavy vehicular traffic going to localities of Malir, Port Qasim, Steel Mills, Gulshan-e-Hadeed, would be eased-up.
He said that the KMC would also commence initial construction works for the development of an underpass on Dr Daudpota Road near Mehran Hotel and for constructing a flyover on Dr Ziauddin Ahmed Road near Shaheen Complex.
The KMC chief said that the flyover being built on Sharea Faisal near the Jinnah Terminal of Karachi Airport would be completed by the end of the current year (2012) at a cost of Rs289 million.
He said that the construction of flyover near the Jinnah Terminal was being completed eight months before the stipulated time in order to minimise hurdles in flow of vehicular traffic on Sharea Faisal that was considered as one of the busiest thoroughfares in the city.
