Karachi, July 05, 2012 (PPI-OT): KMC Administrator Muhammad Hussain Syed said 60 percent work of reconstruction of Shara-e-Quaideen was completed and the corridor was expected to be available for vehicular traffic within three months.
He expressed these views on a visit of the development works of Shahra-e-Quaideen along with the Director General Technical Services Altaf G. Memon, concerned engineers and other high officials.
Administrator Karachi was informed that the service road on both side of main corridor had already been completed and the traffic going to Society Chowrangi from Shara-e-Faisal had been provided with two lane service roads with a total width of 24 feet.
In order to make the double carriage way safe for traffic on both sides New Jersey barriers would be installed in the middle.
Construction of a pedestrian bridge on the Shahra-e-Quaideen was also part of this project whereas a pedestrian bridge was already available at this corridor and with the installation of another one the people would get considerable convenience in crossing the road.
Administrator Muhammad Hussain Syed on this occasion directed Technical Services Department to ensure round the clock work on this project so that it could be completed in time. He also instructed that International Ashto Standards should be complied with in the reconstruction of Shara-e-Quaideen as this corridor was considered one of the most important roads in the city and the access way to the Quaid-e-Azam’s Mausoleum which is used by important dignitaries.
He further said that this road was constructed 30 years ago and had been in a dilapidated condition whereas the wall of roadside drain was also broken which caused accidents on this corridor. The reconstruction of Shahra-e-Quaideen would not only improve the traffic flow on this important road but also minimize the chances of traffic related accidents.
