On the occasion, the administrator directed that the reconstruction work of the Korangi Causeway and Korangi Crossing Intersection should be completed within the scheduled time.
In a briefing, he was informed that the Korangi Causeway, which is being renovated at a cost of a cost of Rs 8.7 million, is an important road and it would be made 18 feet wide.
The administrator said that the road was not given any attention in past, despite many accidents that happened every month there.
“Reflectors will be fixed in the centre of the road for the convenience of commuters,” he added.
While visiting the Korangi Crossing Intersection, he said the intersection’s new design would cost Rs 20 million.
