Authorities have announced that a major road in Karachi closed due to development work, causing traffic diversions and delays in several areas. The closure aims to facilitate ongoing infrastructure upgrades meant to improve road safety and traffic flow in the city.
According to the Karachi Traffic Police, the major road in Karachi closed due to development work is located in a busy commercial zone where thousands of vehicles pass daily. The department has issued alternative routes to ensure smooth movement and reduce congestion during the construction period.
Officials stated that the project involves repairing damaged sections, upgrading drainage systems, and widening lanes to accommodate growing traffic. Heavy machinery and construction materials have already been moved to the site, and work is being carried out around the clock to complete it as early as possible.
Commuters are advised to use designated detours and follow traffic signs placed along major intersections. Traffic wardens have also been deployed to guide drivers and prevent gridlocks.
The Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) and Sindh government are jointly supervising the project as part of the cityβs broader development plan. The authorities emphasized that while the major road in Karachi closed due to development work may cause temporary inconvenience, the upgrades will bring long-term benefits for both motorists and pedestrians.
Residents in nearby areas have been requested to plan their travel times accordingly and avoid unnecessary trips during rush hours. Public transport operators have also been informed to reroute their services until construction concludes.
The project, once completed, is expected to improve traffic flow, reduce travel times, and enhance road safety in one of Karachiβs most congested areas.
Officials have not provided an exact completion date but assured the public that efforts are being made to reopen the road as soon as possible.
