Karachi: Karachi Mayor Barrister Murtaza Wahab has announced that the under-construction Natha Khan Link Road will be opened to the public soon bringing potential relief to commuters travelling through some of the city’s busiest areas.

During a visit to the ongoing construction project Mayor Murtaza Wahab reviewed the development work and expressed optimism that the road would be opened for public use shortly.

According to the mayor completion of the Natha Khan Link Road will connect Shahrah-e-Faisal with Gulistan-e-Jauhar improving connectivity between the two important areas of Karachi. The new road is also expected to help improve traffic flow and reduce congestion on major roads.

Wahab said Karachi needs more link roads to address its growing traffic problems. He added that the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) is working on the construction of additional connecting roads to improve the city’s transport infrastructure.

The mayor stressed that providing better commuting facilities and reducing traffic congestion remain among the city’s key priorities. Development projects such as the Natha Khan Link Road are intended to make daily travel easier for residents and help resolve persistent urban infrastructure challenges.

He further stated that the KMC team is also working to improve the areas around Guru Mandir and Meerath Kebab House. These initiatives form part of broader efforts to improve roads restore existing infrastructure and upgrade basic municipal facilities across Karachi.

Road construction and rehabilitation projects are particularly important in a city where heavy traffic can cause significant delays for commuters travelling to work, educational institutions, businesses and other destinations.

The proposed connection between Shahrah-e-Faisal and Gulistan-e-Jauhar could offer motorists a more convenient route once the road becomes operational. However, the actual impact on traffic congestion will depend on the road’s final configuration, traffic management arrangements and the volume of vehicles using it.

The mayor’s announcement has raised expectations among residents who hope the project will improve accessibility and reduce travel difficulties in the surrounding neighbourhoods.

Although the road’s opening was described as imminent no specific opening date was mentioned in the provided report. Residents are advised to follow official KMC announcements for confirmation of the opening schedule.

The project is part of Karachi’s wider effort to improve road connectivity and provide better transport facilities for its growing population.
