The government of Sindh has decided to demolish Jam Sadiq Bridge after opening the Taj Haider Bridge, which was built parallel to Jam Sadiq Bridge in Qayyumabad.
Speaking at a press conference in Karachi, Sindh Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon said the bridge has now been made accessible for public use and will ease traffic flow in the area.
He added that for the first ten days, the bridge will operate one-way, while the old Jam Sadiq Bridge will be demolished and replaced with a larger structure.
Sharjeel Memon also said that more bus routes will be launched in Karachi, and the final phase of Shahrah-e-Bhutto will be completed by December.
He acknowledged that traffic congestion is one of the city’s biggest challenges, but completion of Shahrah-e-Bhutto will help ease the situation.
Sharjeel Inam Memon said that the important Taj Haider Bridge section of the Yellow Line BRT has been completed and will soon be opened to the public. A new route of 15 EV buses from Gulshan-e-Ma’mar to Tower is being launched, offering citizens modern and environmentally friendly transportation.
The minister emphasized that Karachi remains a top priority, noting that people from across Pakistan come to the city for employment and medical treatment.
He added that, following the directives of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leadership, all Sindh government departments are actively working for the city’s development.
