The Sindh bridge project moves forward as the provincial cabinet approves a new bridge over the Indus River connecting Hyderabad and Kotri, aimed at easing traffic and improving regional connectivity.
The decision came during a cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah. Officials said the new structure will play a key role in reducing congestion between the two busy urban centers.
The route between Hyderabad and Kotri is a major transit corridor. Thousands of vehicles use it daily for intercity travel and trade. Authorities believe the new bridge will shorten travel time and improve transport flow.
The Sindh bridge project is part of a broader infrastructure push in the province. The government is focusing on road networks, urban development, and public service improvements.
In the same meeting, the cabinet approved Rs6.5 billion for road rehabilitation in Karachi. Officials said repair work will begin soon to address damaged roads and traffic issues in the city.
The government also cleared Rs2 billion for the S-3 project, which is linked to Karachi’s drainage and urban planning system. Authorities aim to improve city infrastructure and reduce flooding risks.
Additional funds were approved for the judicial sector. The cabinet allocated resources for digitalizing district courts and building new court facilities. Officials said these steps will improve efficiency and access to justice.
The Sindh bridge project stands out as a key development for transport. It will support economic activity by improving links between industrial and residential areas.
Experts say infrastructure upgrades like this can boost regional growth. Better roads and bridges often lead to smoother trade and increased mobility.
For residents, the project brings hope for reduced travel delays and safer commuting. Authorities have not yet announced a construction timeline, but planning and design approval mark an important first step.
