Mohsin Naqvi, the interim chief minister (CM), officially opened a ground-breaking infrastructure initiative intended to improve accessibility and connectivity for the people of Punjab. CM Naqvi officially set the cornerstone for the 7.3-kilometre Controlled Access Bund Road Corridor project on Sunday.
The Lahore Development Authority (LDA) Chief Engineer gave CM Naqvi a thorough overview of the goals and scope of the two-phase project during the ceremony.
Two sections will make up the Controlled Access Corridor: the first will run from Niazi Chowk to Saggian Interchange, and the second from Saggian Interchange to Babu Sabu Interchange. This four-lane dual high-rise road will be built alongside nine pedestrian and dual-traffic subways, nearby highways, and other infrastructure.
The project is expected to be finished in a brief period of time—four months—promising significant time and fuel savings for commuters. Additionally, it is anticipated to lower environmental pollution and traffic accidents, improving the general quality of life in the area.
CM Naqvi emphasised the significance of the project, stressing how it will finish Lahore’s traffic circle and vastly enhance accessibility all around the city. The CM voiced confidence in the project’s prompt completion, saying that it will be finished by December and give Lahore residents easy access to the highway.
Additionally, CM Naqvi discussed foreign partnerships, bringing up conversations about technology transfer with China and the formation of working groups to overhaul Punjab’s medical universities. Notably, he also rejoiced over the recent ‘Sister Cities’ pact’ between Sahiwal and Bahawalpur and Chinese cities..
