Faisalabad: The Faisalabad Development Authority (FDA) has proposed a comprehensive remodelling and traffic management plan for Canal Road from Abdullahpur Chowk to Gatwala to improve traffic flow, connectivity and road safety.
The proposal was reviewed at a meeting chaired by Commissioner Faisalabad Dr Imran Hamid Sheikh, who said the remodelling was aimed at providing safer, more convenient and uninterrupted travel facilities to citizens. The plan was prepared by FDA engineers following a technical and traffic engineering study.
Under the proposed plan, the FDA would construct two new bridges and two additional U-turns on both sides of Canal Road. It also proposes removing 10 unnecessary ramps and constructing four new ramps to improve connections between Canal Road and the service roads.
The plan also seeks to improve connectivity between Samundri Road and Canal Expressway, while streamlining access points along the route.
The meeting was attended by FDA Director General Muhammad Asif Chaudhry, Director Development Asif Chauhan, Chief Traffic Officer Nasir Javed, Chief Officer Municipal Corporation Usman Ghani, Assistant Commissioner General Atiya Inayat and representatives of other departments.
The proposed remodelling is intended to address traffic pressure and improve movement along one of Faisalabad’s major road corridors. The plan will be reviewed in coordination with relevant departments before implementation.
Authorities will also assess traffic management requirements along the route as part of the proposed improvements.
