Lahore: The Lahore Development Authority (LDA) plans to construct a dual carriageway flyover at Shahkam Chowk in a bid to address traffic issues in the area, a news source reported.
The civic agency has prepared two proposals to this effect for inclusion in the annual development programme (ADP). The construction of a two-lane flyover is expected to cost around PKR 1.92 billion, whereas the development work of a three-lane flyover would cost PKR 2.25 billion.
Moreover, LDA would also carry out rehabilitation work on a 4.7-kilometre-long stretch of Defence Road, from Labour Colony to Shahkam Chowk at an estimated cost of PKR 850 million.
Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar recently directed LDA Vice Chairman SM Imran to personally monitor the development projects undertaken by the civic agency. Imran said that new projects will be developed according to public requirements.
