Lahore is Upgrading 9 Underpasses

The Lahore Development Authority (LDA) has initiated a new phase of upgrading work on underpasses along Canal Bank Road. This follows a previous Rs. 300 million renovation project carried out by Traffic Engineering and Planning Agency (TEPA) a few years prior. TEPA replaced existing tiles with a rock-wall finish to improve durability and reduce long-term maintenance costs.

However, within three years, the rock-wall finish showed signs of deterioration and several decorative lights installed during the renovation were stolen.

The latest upgradation work is being overseen by LDA Director General Tahir Farooq during a meeting of the LDA Engineering Wing. Officials are currently repairing and restoring underpasses on both sides of Canal Bank Road, stretching from Thokar Niaz Baig to Mall Road. The ongoing project involves asphalt laying, improvements to road signage, and other restoration measures. Farooq has emphasized the need for durable and high-quality work during this current phase of upgradation.
