Due to the extended lockdown, however, construction work has once again been hit with delays despite the government’s decision to allow the resumption of the project. Per the initial plan, the Numaish Chowrangi intersection at MA Jinnah Road was to be opened for two-way traffic in the last week of March. Later, the opening of the intersection was delayed due to the start of Ramazan but due to the extended lockdown imposed in the city by the Sindh government, construction work remained suspended. The engineer added that even though the federal and provincial governments have allowed construction work to resume, the situation in Karachi seems to be unclear. Based on such passes, the staff and machinery could be brought to the construction site without interruption,” he said.
