KALMA UNDERPASS LAHORE
OVERVIEW
The Kalma Chowk intersection was one of the busiest in Lahore, Pakistan, with traffic volume often reaching as many as 393,000 vehicles per day. Two major roads—Ferozepur Road and the joining of Main Boulevard Garden Town (Barket Market Road) and Main Boulevard Gulberg Liberty Market Road)—meet at this junction. Long lines were common during peak traffic times, and a vehicle had to wait for up to eight minutes. Construction of underpass on such a busiest location just in 74 days truly exhibits the capabilities of HCS.
