LAHORE, Oct 07 (APP):The Lahore Development Authority (LDA) has finalized plans for a new expressway project connecting Arfa Karim Tower to Pine Avenue, Raiwind. The project aims to ease traffic congestion and provide an alternative route to South Lahore.
According to Chief Engineer LDA, Israr Saeed, the project’s PC-1 has been prepared and the NOC (No Objection Certificate) has been requested. The estimated cost of the expressway exceeds Rs. 9 billion.
Designed as an environment-friendly initiative, the expressway will offer a three-lane dual carriageway similar to the Lahore Orange Line (LOS) project. The first phase will cover the stretch from Arfa Karim Tower to Maulana Shaukat Ali Road.
A topographic survey has already been conducted from Arfa Karim Tower to Pine Avenue. Once completed, the expressway will provide an alternative to Kalma Chowk, benefiting millions of vehicles by streamlining traffic flow toward South Lahore.
The PC-1 will be submitted to the Planning and Development Department for approval in the coming days.
