Over 50 percent of carpeting work at the Hub River Road has been completed and a portion of six kilometres of the road would have with three lanes on each side, Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) Administrator Muhammad Hussain Syed was informed during a recent visit to the site.
Special material and engineering has been used for the construction of the road to make it durable.
Works and Services Department Director General Altaf G Memon briefed Syed that the renovation of the Hub River Road would solve the traffic problem at this important corridor. “All efforts are being made to finish work on the project before the scheduled time,” he added.
The road is used by heavy traffic headed towards or coming from other parts of Sindh and Balochistan, causing it to deteriorate and break up.
The administrator directed the Memon to gear up work on all ongoing projects in the city and ensure their completion within the scheduled time.
He also directed him to personally oversee the work on development projects and submit a daily progress report.
