Lahore: Lahore Development Authority (LDA) Director General (DG) Ahmad Aziz Tarar has forwarded a summary of two road infrastructure development projects on Walton Road for the approval of Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar, news sources reported.
The PKR 2.8 billion project includes the construction of a dual-lane two-way underpass and one flyover on Khalid Butt Chowk and Ghora Chowk respectively.
As per the details, a dual road underpass will be built on Khalid Butt Chowk while a single two-lane flyover will be built from Ghora Chowk to Walton Road.
