“Link Road is also being constructed on National Highway. Preliminary work for construction of Malir Expressway has been completed. Practical work will start soon,” the Administrator said. He said that Jahangir Road was built by PWD in the past but sewerage and drainage were not taken care of due to which this road was damaged.
