Govt has inaugurated the construction of a multi-level flyover at the congestion plagued Shahdara chowk to ease the flow of traffic. According to sources it would be a 1.708 km long overhead bridge having 6-lanes that will ensure a smooth flow of traffic. The commuters would not have to wait in long queues as the train would pass through the crossing without creating any hindrance for traffic coming from the GT Road.
In this regard a detailed traffic plan has also been shared by traffic police. According to the City Traffic Police Lahore, the traffic plan will be implemented from February 18, 2023 and the Shahdara Chowk will be closed for traffic for the construction of the flyover.
