KKH is still closed due to Atabad Lake. That needs to be fixed urgently.

Not closed, but not exactly open either. They load you and your ride on a barge/boat from one side of the lake and drop you on the other end, the goods are transported the same way and then loaded onto fresh vehicles. This ferry system stops completely during the winters when the lake freezes over. The FWO is working on reducing the level of the lake and before that happens an alternative route cannot be built around and then across the lake. This Feb they opened a temporarily blocked spillway. The work is still too slow. Give it to the Chinese, I say.

Yes, I know about that seasonal arrangement, but that is not way to move loaded heavy trucks. KKH is closed effectively for one of its major purposes due to the lake. FWO simply does not have the expertise or the resources to deal with the problem quickly enough.

Well, the expertise are there but the will and the pressure is missing, plus, as you said, the funds. These are the people who built the KKH in the first place, along with the Chinese. And the post quake, Balakot to Chillas highway is another example that these guys can do the job and do it well.
Meeting after meeting in the presidential house and all they do is praise the FWO's efforts. The government doesn't give a damn except for making this project a treasure trove for its posses.

Rawalpindi: Pirwadhai More floyover & underpass.

So the flyover is now working completely?

They need to make the underside better, have some plants there or just make a pavement!

Judging by the pictures, they can't make pavements there, the 'underpass' thing is way too narrow.

No no...I meant that empty area under the flyover, with all the dirt.

A bit of landscaping would do a world of good.
