The Lahore Development Authority (LDA) has started construction of a new dual carriage link road from LOS Ferozepur Road to Multan Road ending near Samanabad Morde to reduce travelling to Motorway M-2 and Ring Road with an estimated cost of Rs 1846 million.

The contract of road construction has been granted through open tender to a private construction company while LDA and National Engineering Services of Pakistan (NESPAK) will supervise the project.

Under the project, the existing more than four kilometres long road alongside the Samanabad Nullah to Gulshan e Ravi would be rehabilitated and widened upto 60 feet consisting three lane from each side. The construction of the road would be completed within next six months and it would help easing the traffic flow of more than 50,000 vehicles daily besides reducing travelling time from Ferozepur Road to Motorway M-2 Babu Sabu Interchange.

In the first phase of the project, LDA has demolished illegal construction from the LOS side of the road while from Multan Road, Poonch House Colony, where dozens of illegal houses had been constructed, LDA will launch operation during the current month.

LDA Chief Engineer Israr Saeed commenting on the project said that operation against encroachments would be launched soon and the road construction would be completed within the stipulated time frame.

He said that all concerned government departments including Sui Gas, WASA, LESCO and telephone started shifting their infrastructure from the site after which road construction would be started.
