Karachi: Chairman of Pakistan Peoples’ Party Bilawal Bhutto on Thursday performed the groundbreaking of Malir Expressway project as being the biggest civic infrastructure project ever done by any provincial government in Pakistan under the public-private partnership (PPP) mode.
The Malir Expressway will be built as an access-controlled 38.5 kilometres-long high speed toll expressway to connect city centre in Karachi to M-9 Motorway between Karachi and Hyderabad.
The six-lane highway project having cost of Rs 27.58 billion will be completed in 30 months’ time. The project will have six interchanges.
Speaking on the occasion, Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah recalled that around 10 years back the then president Asif Ali Zardari had advised the provincial government to involve private sector in doing mega development project as merely government funding was not enough for the purpose.
