Shalimar Interchange

S A J Shirazi

The interchange will greatly help in improving the city’s traffic flow by conveniently connecting the city with cantonment. On the canal’s side, the two underpasses will convert the canal bank road into a signal free corridor in its entire length. As per the traffic count 85,000 vehicles passing over / along the canal will be benefited.

The Mughalpura Dry Port and the visitors going towards Shalimar Gardens and Jallo Park will be greatly facilitated. Being close to the border, it is a major infrastructure development for strengthening the trade and defence aspects with our neighbour as well.
It is a beautiful bridge of a latest design that is most suitable for the locality. Its sleek transoms and girders radiate openness. Besides regulating the traffic at a previous chokepoint, it will provide maximum utility for the residents by uplifting the whole area.

The project, conceived back in 1976 could not be implemented due to site restrictions and technical difficulties. It was a challenge for the Government and FWO which has been accomplished AlhamdoLillah with lot of effort and determination. More details of the project at Light Within!
