Karachi: One of the tracks of MA Jinnah Road from Capri Cinema to Numaish Chowrangi will be closed due to work on the second phase of the Green Line Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project, a news source reported. The other track from Numaish Chowrangi to Capri Cinema will be closed later this month.
A Karachi Infrastructure Development Company Limited (KIDCL) official stated that the work on the roof of the underpass will be completed within five months, after which the road will be opened for traffic again. The entire project is expected to be completed within nine months. An alternative traffic plan has been devised to be used during construction.
According to the alternative traffic plan, Mansfield Street and Garden Road will be used for traffic coming from Saddar and Tower. Meanwhile, traffic going from Gurumandir towards Saddar and Tower will be diverted to New MA Jinnah Road, Peoples Chowrangi and Preedy Street. The traffic from rest of the city will be routed through Preedy Street and Peoples Chowrangi.
