Karachi Inaugurates Upgraded Jinnah Bridge Following Rehabilitation Work

Karachi Mayor Barrister Murtaza Wahab inaugurated the completion of the improvement and rehabilitation project for Jinnah Bridge in District Keamari. The project was completed at a cost of Rs. 609 million and aims to enhance traffic flow and infrastructure safety.

During the ceremony, the mayor highlighted the strategic importance of Jinnah Bridge, noting that it connects the port area with major highways and serves as a link to the Native Jetty Bridge. The upgraded bridge is expected to facilitate smoother transportation for commuters, freight movement, and trade activities in the city.

The rehabilitation work included structural repairs, resurfacing, and modernization of the bridge’s facilities to ensure long-term durability and safety. Authorities emphasized that the improvements would not only improve traffic management but also enhance the aesthetic appeal of one of Karachi’s key transport landmarks.

City officials noted that Jinnah Bridge is a critical route for vehicles transporting goods to and from the port, and the upgraded infrastructure will reduce congestion and improve efficiency in the movement of commercial traffic.

The project reflects Karachi’s ongoing efforts to modernize urban infrastructure and maintain vital transport links that support economic activity. By upgrading the bridge, city authorities aim to enhance connectivity for both local commuters and the logistics sector, which relies heavily on efficient port access.

Mayor Wahab assured residents that similar rehabilitation initiatives would continue across the city to improve public safety, traffic flow, and overall infrastructure quality. The project demonstrates a focus on long-term urban planning and sustainable development in Karachi.
