CONSTRUCTION - GIZRI FLYOVER

The main Gizri Bazaar was a sore point for traffic congestion and heavy jams due to all types of vehicles parked on the main Gizri road in front of the shops.

To ease the DHA residents, DHA undertook the mega project of construction of Gizri Flyover. The Flyover will facilitate the flow of traffic coming into and moving out of DHA through Gizri commercial area.

The bridge is likely to be opened for traffic in December 2009.

Work on side roads will be completed by end of August 2009. The design of Gizri Flyover caters for a single pier shaft so that maximum space is available under the bridge for parking and traffic taking U turns. The design caters for maximum overhead clearance under the bridge. The central median New Jersey barrier will separate traffic going in opposite directions. The Gizri Flyover will be 1.2 kilo-meters long and 15 meters wide. The flyover consists of two lanes on each being 3.5 meters wide in size. The vertical clearance under flyover is be 5.1 meters.
