Shahrah-e-Bhutto expressway inauguration
The statement was made during the inauguration of the 39-kilometer Shahrah-e-Bhutto Expressway in Karachi.
The project connects Qayyumabad with the M-9 Motorway and is considered a key development link for the city’s transport network.
According to Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah, the expressway has been developed in phases at a total cost of around Rs 65 billion for Phase III.
Project details
Sindh Chief Minister said the expressway includes:
- 6 interchanges
- 6 lanes
- A 5-kilometer elevated section
He added that different phases of the project were completed between 2025 and 2026.
Murad Ali Shah said the project faced delays due to efforts to avoid population displacement, but would significantly reduce travel time across Karachi and beyond.
The Chief Minister also said that development projects worth around Rs 1,700 billion are currently underway in Karachi.
He added that projects worth more than Rs 70 billion have been approved in the last three months alone.
Another major expansion is planned to connect Qayyumabad with Karachi Port.
