Falaknuma RoB Nears Completion, Promises Relief from Traffic Woes
Imagine a road bridge that's too small for all the cars.
It causes traffic jams!
To fix this, they're building a new, bigger bridge right next to the old one in Falaknuma.
Construction started in 2021, and it's almost done.
The new bridge is being built because the old one, which is only two lanes, can't handle all the cars anymore.
The government and the railway are working together to finish it.
Once the last bits of road are added, the new bridge will open and help traffic flow more smoothly.
Construction of a parallel Railway Over Bridge (RoB) in Falaknuma is nearing completion.
The project started in 2021 to alleviate traffic congestion on a busy Old City route.
The existing two-lane RoB has become inadequate due to increased traffic.
The new 360-meter flyover is a joint project between GHMC and SCR.
Local officials state that the remaining road work will be completed soon.
