Severe Traffic Jams Paralyze Karachi as Monsoon Leaves Roads in Disrepair
The extensive development projects across various parts of Karachi regularly cause significant traffic disruptions
Severe traffic jams on Monday evening paralysed Karachi as monsoon season left the roads in disrepair across the metropolis.
As reported, severe traffic jams and long queues of vehicles were witnessed on all major roads across the city and it took hours for commuters in various areas to reach their homes from offices.
The traffic flow on MA Jinnah Road has been severely disrupted due to damaged roads, resulting in increased congestion. Similar traffic jams were observed in the Saddar area and nearby neighbourhoods, where vehicles were backed up for long distances.
Adding more to the misery, potholes on MT Khan Road and Jinnah Bridge further hampered traffic, while the road from Quaidabad to the airport is in such poor condition that many commuters face significant challenges due to the gridlock.
The road from FTC to Kala Pul towards DHA is also in disrepair, leading to severe traffic disruptions and causing hardships for residents. Near Malir Bridge, potholes have exacerbated traffic conditions.
Meanwhile, commuters travelling from Gurumandir to Teen Hatti encountered major difficulties as they were caught in severe traffic jams. Reports indicate that ongoing construction work on both tracks has worsened the congestion.
Furthermore, the extensive development projects across various parts of Karachi regularly cause significant traffic disruptions, leading to long vehicle queues and considerable inconvenience for residents.
