The high step of Karachi Port Trust (KPT) will remain closed for a month since the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) begins crucial repair and maintenance work to guarantee structural security, confirmed Mayor Murtaza Wahab.
To relieve the impact on travelers, a detailed traffic diversion plan has been developed in coordination with the Karachi Traffic Police, describing alternative routes. Citizens are recommended to follow the new routes to avoid congestion.
The announcement occurs when the city rises from current electricity interruptions, which have caused generalized protests.
Residents in locations such as Liaquatabad and Azizabad organized demonstrations on the main roads, burning tires and song song against the K-Electric and government authorities.
The protests, driven by long power cuts during extreme heat, caused serious traffic interruptions on several key routes.
The authorities have urged the calm and safe citizens of efforts to resolve infrastructure and utility concerns.
In Karachi, this was one of the first bridges that were built as a multilevel structure.
In addition, the nature of the design of the road where multiple ramps of fusion and exit on the bridge are provided was a unique element of this high step exchange.
