KARACHI: The Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) has finalized plans to build a new flyover on Azeempura Road to reduce traffic jams and improve road links in the city.
The flyover will provide a direct, signal-free route between Shahrah-e-Bhutto and Shahrah-e-Faisal, two of Karachi’s busiest roads. It will especially benefit commuters heading to Jinnah International Airport by offering a faster and smoother journey.
The flyover will be 500 meters long and designed to allow continuous traffic flow for thousands of daily road users.
A high-level meeting, chaired by Mayor Karachi Barrister Murtaza Wahab, was held to approve the PC-1 of the project. The meeting was attended by KMC Municipal Commissioner Syed Afzal Zaidi, Chief Engineer Zulfiqar Abro, Financial Advisor Gulzar Ali, and other senior officials.
