CM Maryam Nawaz inaugurates Bund Road Corridor, expansion of Ravi Bridge

LAHORE: Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz recently launched three significant infrastructure projects in Lahore aimed at improving traffic flow and transportation.

The projects include the Controlled Access Corridor (Bund Road Package-II), the expansion of Ravi Bridge, and the remodeling of the Babu Sabu Interchange.

During the launch event, the Chief Minister inspected the quality of the work and instructed officials to expand service lanes to accommodate nearby residents.

The Controlled Access Corridor project has seen significant progress, with the completion of construction between the Niazi Interchange and Saggian, as well as the Saggian to Babu Sabu section.

Service lanes have been opened along the 7.5 km Bund Road corridor, improving traffic flow.

Additionally, repair work on drainage systems, construction of subways for vehicles and pedestrians, and development of a greenbelt and park at Babu Sabu Chowk have been completed.

The expansion of Ravi Bridge includes the construction of a new 540-meter, four-lane bridge over the Ravi River, which will ease traffic flow.

Encroachments on valuable land have also been removed. These projects are expected to benefit residents in areas like Shahdara, Kot Abdul Malik, Sheikhupura, Gulshan-i-Ravi, Sanda, and Sherakot by reducing traffic congestion and improving transportation.
