Azadi Chowk flyover to complete in July


LAHORE

The construction of flyovers and interchanges going on at two main entry and exit points of the City will be completed in July and the citizens will get rid of the trouble they face on daily basis due to the construction activities.

Sources in LDA said the work on the Azadi Chowck Interchange is complete by 95 per cent and Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif may inaugurate the project in the first week of July. The project has been completed within a time of five and a half months, with a cost of over Rs 4.5 billion.

LDA officials said work on this project started on January 15. They said traffic coming from Data Darbar, Shahdara and Timber Market for Circular Road will be diverted to Maulana Ahmed Ali Road and Lorry Adda. For smooth flow of traffic at Ravi Road, an elevated round about and a fly over was constructed.

The flyover starts from Texali Chowk and ends at Timber Market. The overall length of the interchange is 2.53 kilometer. LDA officials said over two hundred thousand vehicles an average will pass through this junction, saving fuel of Rs 9 million per annum.

New Circular Road was also part of this project, which was completed with an estimated cost of Rs 1.35 billion and its length is 1.6 kilometer. This two-lane road is 14.7 meters wide on both sides and comprises over four lanes each and every lane is 3.3 meter wide. A round about and two U-turns were also made on this road. This new road was started from Maulana Ahmed Ali Road and then connects Minar-e-Pakistan, Lorry Adda, Badami Bagh, Masti Gate and Circular Road.

Likewise the construction work on Chungi Amarsadhu Interchange is also going on full scale.

Sources said the LDA high ups had directed completion of this project in mid July 2014. They said the authority wanted to complete construction of this project before monsoon rains hit the city.
