Work on New Road Project in Lahore

LAHORE (April 17 2008): Construction work of a new road connecting Lahore General Hospital with Jinnah Hospital has started, the Nazim, City District Government Lahore (CDGL), Mian Amir Mahmood has said on Wednesday. Talking to a delegation of Nazims he said that the Rs 840million road project would be completed in one year.The new road would pass through Chungi Amer Sadhu and Peaco Road and relax the traffic pressure on the Ferozepur Road after its completion, he added.

"Traffic heading towards Thokar Niaz Baig and Motorway would have an alternate route due to this new road," Nazim said.Mahmood informed the delegation that in the first phase, Mulana Shaukat Ali Road between Junnah Hospital and Model Town Link Road would be widened and a service lane would also be added on this route.

"The 5.75-km-long road would be 30-feet wide on both sides and flanked by 18-feet service lane. This would also have footpaths and proper rainwater drainage system," he added. In the second phase, an underpass would be constructed near the Peaco Factory, under the railway track to link Mulana Shaukat Ali Road with Katcha Link Jail Road.Additionally, in the third phase, Katcha Link Jail Road between Peaco Factory and Chungi Amar Sadhu (Ferozepur Road) would be widened and reconstructed.

"The new road would not only smooth the traffic flow on Mulana Shaukat Ali Road, but also provide an alternate route between Thokar to Chungi Amar Sadhu," Mahmood stated.

Project is workable but the real wonder will be to make an underpass near peco factory.

Yes Mr. Ahsan, it will be a wonder for Lahorites but remember we already had such wonder below dharampura bridge where a railway line also crosses....
