The City District Government Karachi (CDGK) has added two more mega projects in the under construction signal free corridor-III. Work on an underpass and flyover at Shahra-e-Quaideen is being executed rapidly with the addition of these projects while the total cost of corridor-III has been estimated at Rs 2.5 billion.
According to a CDGK press issued on Saturday, the City Nazim Karachi, Syed Mustafa Kamal stated this during the inspection of development work on new projects at Shahra-e-Quaideen. He also expressed hope that these two projects would also be completed within time like other projects of the CDGK.
The EDO Works and Services, Rasheed Mughal on this occasion gave a briefing to Nazim Karachi about the projects of corridor -III. He said that the construction of a flyover and underpass at Shahra-e-Quaideen roundabout was initiated to avoid the problems for corridor-III.
Both portions of underpass will have three lane roads, while the flyover will also have three-lane road and a two-lane service road on both sides. Mughal said that the work on these projects was going on speedily and it is expected to be completed within a period of two or two and half months.
City Nazim directed concerned officials to ensure immediate co-ordination with all utility services providers and to provide all information about the underpass. He said that past experience of similar projects should be used so that any possible problem or delay in work could be avoided.
He also instructed to include the lying of storm water drainage system at Shahra-e-Qaideen in front of Khudadad Colony in this project, which would solve the problem of standing rainwater during rainy season.
During the inspection of work at Jail Chowrangi flyover, Nazim Karachi directed to start work on the loop going inside the Prison's boundary wall. He directed the EDO Works and Services to immediately call the tenders for installation of streetlights at all the projects of corridor-III and also complete all paperwork so that the street lights are installed.-PR
