As per the new working of the CDA, the Bypass would be 5 kilometers which
includes a one-kilometer flyover and two interchanges at the start and end
points. The bypass would start near Quaid-e Azam University and will end up at
Jugi Stop via Kiani Road and Friday Bazar. The CDA sources told that the final
cost would be finalized in PC-1 however the cost would be more than 5 billion.
The CDA official added, “We have made our mind; the five-km project will have
a four-km road and a one-km flyover. But, yes, we are also checking the option
of expansion of the roads but ultimately we will have to go for the flyover”. It is
to be mentioned here that the former PM Imran Khan had laid the foundation
stone of the bypass last year but the work couldn’t be started.
