The Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) has approved the construction of a new flyover on Azeempura Road to address traffic congestion and improve road connectivity.
According to officials, the proposed flyover will link Shahrah-i-Bhutto with Sharae Faisal, two of Karachi’s busiest roads. The new route is expected to ease travel, particularly for commuters heading towards Jinnah International Airport.
The structure will extend around 500 metres and is designed to provide a signal-free corridor, aiming to reduce travel times and manage the increasing volume of daily traffic. The decision was finalized during a meeting chaired by Karachi Mayor Murtaza Wahab, where the PC-1 of the project was discussed and approved.
The project has been allocated Rs. 1.4 billion and is expected to serve as an alternate route for residents, particularly amid development works on Shahrah-i-Bhutto.
Once the Planning and Development Board gives formal approval, construction is set to begin without delay. The flyover is expected to be completed within one year.
