The LDA will construct a road from Canal Station to Kalma Chowk in the first phase, a road from Kalma Chowk to Lahore Burj in the second phase, and a road from Lahore Burj to Kahna in the third phase. The third phase will be finished in further smaller phases. Furthermore, the LDA will fund the project with its own resources.
