The Local Government Department, GoS identified and initiated this project under PPP mode.
Mauripur Expressway: The project aims to boost the economic activity / tourism and improve the traffic management in the city. The construction of this corridor will alleviate the traffic pressure in the city as the expressway will also have its connectivity with Lyari Expressway. The Sindh Government is also planning to enhance the load carrying capacity of existing Lyari Expressway to allow for the inclusion of heavy traffic in the area. Once this expressway is constructed and merged with the Lyari Expressway, the overall traffic load of the complete area will be drastically improved and people of Karachi and business community will be overall benefited. Also, the project will support Pakistan Navy for their movement of their very important logistics timely at their destination which in today’s time and given the situation being developed in the region, is extremely important.
ICI Interchange: The project will facilitate Karachi port heavy traffic going/coming from all over country through the junction without stopping, also to facilitate city traffic using Lyari Expressway and Mauripur road for their ultimate destination.
