- Commissioned by
- Karachi Development Authority (KDA)
- Location
- Gujjar Nala corridor, District Central, Karachi
Above — Existing condition — the lined channel and the side road reserve along the Gujjar Nala corridor.
Status
Design and feasibility commission
Prepared for the Karachi Development Authority as a design and feasibility commission for a road connection between the Gujjar Nala corridor and the Lyari Expressway.
Overview
Project overview
Gujjar Nala runs south through District Central to the Lyari River, and service roads were built along the lined channel on both banks. They end without a proper connection to the Lyari Expressway, so traffic from the corridor is pushed back onto the local street network.
We prepared the feasibility and design for the connection: the left and right side roads brought onto the Lyari Expressway, U-turn arrangements where the corridor crosses Shahrah-e-Humayun, Sir Shah Muhammad Suleman Road and Altaf Ali Barelvi Road, and typical cross sections for a 7.9 m road corridor on each bank. The submission carries a key plan of the whole corridor and a detail plan at each of the three crossings.
Every view on this page is a proposal drawing or a photograph of the existing condition. None of it is a photograph of a completed connection.
