Status
Design and feasibility commission
Prepared as a design and feasibility commission. No Annual Development Programme number appears in the scheme documents, so none is quoted here.
Overview
Project overview
Two movements make Maskan Chowrangi hard to clear: Abul Hassan Isphahani Road to Allama Shabbir Ahmed Road, and Allama Shabbir Ahmed Road to University Road. There is no space at the junction for a roundabout.
We prepared the feasibility and design for the only arrangement the site allows — an underpass on one side and a flyover on the other, carrying the through traffic across the junction, with an at-grade U-turn and cross sections drawn for road corridors between 25.3 m and 40.5 m wide.
The figure given below is the estimated value of the scheme, not the practice's fee. Every view on this page is a proposal drawing or render.
