University Road to Reopen by End of July, Sindh Officials Say

The target reopening signals a push to finish a major Karachi transit upgrade while authorities manage commuter disruption.

Overview

  • Sindh Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon said work on the Red Line BRT mixed‑traffic lane is continuing round‑the‑clock and the government aims to reopen University Road by the end of July.
  • The minister apologised for temporary inconvenience to commuters and said police, ambulance and rescue teams have been deployed along the route to provide immediate assistance.
  • Frontier Works Organisation crews are reported to be working day and night on site, a claim made during a media inspection attended by transport officials and the TransKarachi CEO.
  • During the inspection on Saturday, officials framed the push to finish the Red Line as part of wider city mobility improvements that include the recently opened Shahrah‑e‑Bhutto and a planned terminal on the Northern Bypass.
  • Officials used the visit to highlight broader provincial projects and deny political rumours, reiterating a 2.1 million‑unit low‑income housing plan, a reported $1 billion Thar coal investment and that no draft of a 28th Constitutional Amendment has been prepared.
