The construction of Shaheen Chowk Interchange is likely to be delayed. According to a recent update, the Capital Development Authority (CDA) has decided to change its design due to security reasons.
The survey for the new design of Shaheen Chowk Interchange is underway, a CDA official stated.
Universities adjacent to the interchange had previously raised objections about the interchange. The official added that a new design has been proposed, whereby the bridge will be kept low.
The total cost of the Shaheen Chowk Interchange is Rs. 2 billion. The design change will not make any difference to the cost of the project, the CDA official stated.
Former Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif approved the interchange on July 13, 2023. Sharif directed to complete the eight-month project in four months.
With the latest reports of a delay in the completion of the project, it is unknown if the civic agency will even be able to complete the project within the eight-month time period.
Show Baz ka takhti laganey ka shouq Pura hogaya.Security jaey bhar mey.Rawal Dam underpass/overhead abhi tak incomplete hey.
This project would now take years to complete without Shahbaz Sharif behind it and perennial sleeping dog CDA at the watch.
There is no security issues. Just mental issue of chowkidaars.
no where in the world have such un-founded issuesÛ”
why were “sensitive” installations brought here anyway ?
Why do we need to spend Rs.2 billion on Shaheen Interchange in the present adverse economic situation. The project should be abandoned. It is complete wastage of funds.
Primary question should be
‘Why Navy and Air force are running Universities ???
Their role is defence of state, not get involved in commercial stuff and run schools,universities, hospitals and restaurants
