The project
It is pertinent to mention here that Bilawal Bhutto had laid the foundation stone of the expressway project on December 24.
The Malir Expressway will be built as an access-controlled 38.5 kilometres-long high speed toll expressway to connect the city 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.
