The Karachi Elevated Expressway is situated in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan. This project is under construction.
City District Government Karachi (CDGK) signed an agreement for the construction of 24-kilometer Elevated Expressway from Jinnah Bridge to Quaidabad, at a cost of $ 225 million. The project includes construction of a 24-kilometer long and 25-meter wide expressway having three lanes on each side. The elevated expressway will have six interchanges at Quaidabad inter-section, Star Gate, HIR Road, Shahrah-e-Quaideen, Hotel Metropole and Jinnah Bridge (Native Jetty).
