Critical Update on Peshawar Road Underpass Project Progress
During the approaching monsoon season, authorities have delayed formal commencement on several Peshawar Road underpasses. Progress on three underpasses remains on hold, though side works have commenced and upgrades to adjacent infrastructure are underway. Construction timelines are expected to continue for the next fiscal year. Experts warn that monsoon rain could disrupt excavation schedules. Key components such as the District Administration Qasim Market drains, alternative roads, and utility services have been completed, but traffic management remains a priority. The Punjab Communication and Works Department aims to resolve these challenges before the monsoon fully sets in, emphasizing the urgent need for a signal-free corridor to improve connectivity.
