Karachi the largest city in Pakistan is making Liyari Expressway
Lyari Expressway is a highway currently under construction along the Lyari River in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan. This toll highway is designed to relieve congestion in the city of Karachi. Lyari Expressway was scheduled to be completed in December 2009 but work stopped after completing only 67% of the highway and in March 2014 the work has not restarted.
The video also covers the status of people who were relocated to new towns and cities great social work done, last 15 minutes of video
** Summary is a highway had to be constructed , and population that lived in substandard
living condition had to be relocated to appropriate housing where schools , hospitals and
proper facilities existed
Another project done in Musharaf's time
The Lyari Expressway project was launched on May 11, 2002 with the aim of serving as a commuting artery connecting Mauripur Road and the Super Highway and to alleviate the burden of traffic plying betweenKarachi Port and the Super Highway heading upcountry.
It will be a 16.5 km 8 lane expressway that will consist of four lanes on both sides, with two interchanges, five overpasses and five underpasses. Moreover, two lanes each will be constructed on either bank of theLyari River. Once completed, traffic volume is estimated at 34,000 vehicles. The expressway will have toll plazas at four locations.[2]
The cost of developing this expressway has been revised several times since it was first proposed. Originally estimated at Rs 5.1 billion, as of March 2006 it is expected to cost Rs 8 billion once completed.[3]
When work started on the Lyari Expressway in May 2002, the National Highway Authority (NHA) had expected to complete it in 30 months (i.e. by November 2004). Having revised the completion schedule, as of December 2006 the Frontier Works Organisation (FWO), the executing agency for the NHA, expects the southbound section running from Sohrab Goth to Mauripur Road completed by the end of 2007.

ISLAMABAD: National Assembly was informed Tuesday that construction work on Lyari Expressway in Karachi will be completed by December 2014.
Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Aftab Sheikh told the House in response of a Calling Attention Notice that some patches of land were illegally occupied by land mafia that caused delay in construction.
"But, the government is confident that the land will be vacated and the project will be completed by December 2014," he said responding to the questions of the movers.
