Lahore; The Lahore Development Authority’s Development Working Party (LDA-DWP) recently approved the development of an underpass in the Firdous Market locale of Gulberg, along with the establishment of an entertainment park in Johar Town — with the two initiatives expected to have an estimated cost of PKR 2.13 billion, according to news sources.
With a development budget of PKR
1.80 billion, a dual-lane carriageway, full-depth underpass will be constructed
at the Firdous Market area of Gulberg. The project is aimed at reducing traffic
congestion on the route leading from Centre Point to Cavalry Ground, as well as
to facilitate the flow of traffic headed towards MM Alam Road.
According to a department official, the approved underpass would be 540 feet long and would require seven kanals of land for construction. Moreover, it is also expected to incorporate a special rainwater drainage system. Crucially, the development of this project will not affect the existing structures in the area.
Correspondingly, the
entertainment park is expected to be established on 140-kanals of land in Johar
Town, adjacent to the Aleem Dar Academy. The project is estimated to cost PKR
330 million and will feature an open gym, a jogging track, tennis court,
basketball court and equipment for other outdoor recreational activities.
