Thousands of vehicles use the two-lane dual carriageway daily
HYDERABAD:
The Hyderabad bypass, an 11 kilometres-long road connecting M9 Motorway with the National Highway and Hyderabad with Jamshoro district, has now been officially recognised as a forsaken stretch of the road. In a recent correspondence with the National Highway Authority chairperson, Hyderabad Deputy Commissioner Fuad Ghaffar Soomro has jotted down the problems of traffic congestion, accidents and the absence of an aesthetic feel on the bypass.
He has also emphasised on the need of construction of a new bridge over the Indus River by the side of an existing bridge. The bypass stretches from the toll plaza of M9 Motorway to Hatri, a rural town of Hyderabad. Tens of thousands of vehicles pass through the bypass, which is a two-lane dual carriageway, every day.
