According to an official of the Lahore Development Authority (LDA), the Karim Market (Allama Iqbal Town) intersection flyover and an underpass project have been pushed back until the next fiscal year due to the shortage of funds.
“It has been decided in principle to launch these projects in the city, as the Lahore Development Authority has been entrusted with the task to accomplish them under a fast-track plan.”
Here is the breakdown of the cost and other details related to these proposed projects:
- Sheranwala Gate flyover – Rs. 4.9 billion
