KARACHI: The Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) on Saturday announced plans to rebuild and revamp 418 roads across the city at an estimated cost of Rs14 billion, in a major move aimed at improving urban infrastructure, traffic flow and road safety for millions of residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The decision follows the earlier approval of Rs5.5bn for the rehabilitation of 26 key arterial roads, which officials described as a sustained effort by the Sindh government and KMC to address Karachi\u2019s long-standing infrastructure challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the latest phase, additional streets and roads have been identified for reconstruction to enhance connectivity and commuter convenience across the metropolis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The development was discussed at a high-level meeting held at the KMC head office under the chairmanship of Mayor Barrister Murtaza Wahab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The meeting focused on expediting approvals, reviewing ongoing development schemes and finalising future infrastructure plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The officials informed the mayor that 418 roads had been selected for rehabilitation and that preparation of PC-I documents was currently underway to ensure timely execution of the projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Barrister Wahab said Karachi was witnessing unprecedented investment of billions of rupees in infrastructure rehabilitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said that KMC was committed to ensuring performance-based governance and delivering tangible improvements in line with the Pakistan Peoples Party\u2019s manifesto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He added that serious and sustained efforts were underway to resolve civic issues swiftly and provide improved facilities to citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr Wahab emphasised that road rehabilitation remained a top priority due to its direct impact on daily mobility, economic activity and public safety.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
