Bahria Town flyover inaugurated in Karachi

After much opposition and controversy, the Bahria Town Flyover in Karachi’s Clifton area finally became operational on Friday.

The three projects, two underpasses and a flyover, costing Rs1.89 billion, have been built near Abdullah Shah Ghazi’s shrine in Clifton.

The projects were completed within one year despite the earlier promised six months owing to stay orders.

The administrator of the project said Bahria Town financed these three projects to reduce the traffic burden around the shrine, Park Towers, 26th Street and Muhammad Bin Qasim Park.

A labourer working with Bahria Town for years inaugurated the ceremony. Addressing the gathering at the inauguration ceremony, Malik Riaz urged courts to not issue stay orders for development projects.

The upscale Clifton neighbourhood of the metropolis was virtually left in ruins ever since construction work on the flyover and two underpasses was stayed by the Sindh High Court (SHC).

Dug-up roads, mounds of earth and choked thorough fares and alleyways made life miserable for residents of Clifton and devotees, who flock to revered Sufi saint Abdullah Shah Ghazi’s shrine located in the locality.

Lanes are a bit small for my liking, but i'll take it.

Malik Riaz could do so much more for Karachi than Bhai and the Jiyalas.

I did not know that a road flyover in Karachi is a such a big news that it requires a thread. In any case, congrats Karachi. Is this the same flyover in Clifton where a Hindu Temple was too close to the flyover and faced structural problems due to tremors from construction ?

Indeed. God bless Chaudhary Nisar for making him leave Pindi forever and throwing his gangsters in jail And he's Zardari's pimp btw, hence a pimp's pimp.

Btw he financed lal masjid's reconstruction and brought ASWJ to Pindi, only for the ASWJ leaders to get target killed by shia gangs(lol).

If Punjab govt. build one such underpass or pedestrian bridge, it cost billions of rupees and here we have best quality workmanship, which pose an open challenge to Shahbaz Sharif... while Zardari tribe is a hopeless case, they can only build Iran and serve Iran with Pakistani money.

Sir this tiny bridge is also claimed to be costing 1.89 billion rupees. Like somebody said above, the lanes looks too tiny and the road surface also not looking so good... unless the picture not taken properly.

Built by a single person with his own money.....Rs.1.8 Billion

Lets not get excited, he did it for himself/Bahria town. Other wise there are lots of places in Pakistan where fly overs are needed

He is not there for earning rewards. If it's coming out of his pocket, it means he built it to serve Bahria town and by that means he is going to recover the money out of Bahria town project.

Malik Riaz is a businessman and he knows what is best for his business, there are no free gifts by a professional businessman

This flyover accesses his highrise condo building and he sold those condos at very high price. So it justifies the expense as there would have been no car access to the condo building without this flyover.

Its 2 lanes 2 way... and not a tiny bridge, two under passes. Traffic flows freely if people have the skill to drive in line.
1.89 billion is all private money from Punjab... and we are proud to build Pakistan, in our capacity, in excess to various taxes and surcharges.
