New Korangi Bridge Eases Karachi Traffic During Rainy Season, offering residents uninterrupted connectivity between Korangi and Landhi. The bridge, inaugurated by Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah, resolves long-standing traffic closures during heavy rains. Residents and commuters now enjoy smoother travel, even when the Malir River flooding affects nearby roads.
The Korangi Causeway Bridge spans 1.4 kilometers and is 26 meters wide, constructed at a cost of Rs. 6,135.146 million. Construction began in July 2023 and was completed in January 2026. This modern infrastructure project in Karachi enhances traffic management during heavy rains and supports public transport improvements. Local Government Minister Nasir Hussain Shah, Labor Minister Saeed Ghani, and the Mayor of Karachi attended the bridge inauguration ceremony alongside business community members.
Previously, heavy rainfall divided Korangi and Landhi, forcing long detours and causing urban congestion. The new bridge provides a reliable route for commuters and eases pressure on nearby roads. Flood management measures along the Malir River now complement the bridge, reducing road closures and delays. According to ARY News, this project marks a significant step in Karachi’s urban infrastructure projects and demonstrates effective planning by the Sindh Government.
Besides improving connectivity, the bridge strengthens economic activity by facilitating the smoother movement of goods and people. Residents now have safer travel options, and emergency services can respond faster during floods. Traffic solutions in Karachi during rainy seasons are expected to improve significantly because of the Rs. 6,135 million bridge project.
The New Korangi Bridge stands as a modern example of Karachi’s commitment to sustainable urban development, efficient traffic management, and flood-resilient infrastructure.
