ISLAMABAD.: The National Assembly was informed on Thursday the government would undertake the projects of Karachi Northern Bypass and Sukkur-Hyderabad (M-6) motorway, which would be executed on build, operate and transfer (BOT) basis.
Replying to a question from Shahida Rehmani during the question hour, Communications Minister Murad Saeed Thursday said at present most part of Karachi Northern Bypass was a single carriageway but the level of service on it was good and the accident ratio was not high.
The Northern bypass links the Karachi Port Trust to the National Highway and the Super Highway. “The dualisation of 56-kilometer-long Northern Bypass has been planned and hiring of consultants has been initiated,” the minister told the house.
“Its dualization through public-private partnership mode or funding through Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP) is being considered. The construction work might start after hiring consultants and the contractor by the end of year 2019.”
