      <title>CM Sarfraz Bugti spearheads Quetta’s biggest road overhaul to ease traffic</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330408205/cm-sarfraz-bugti-spearheads-quettas-biggest-road-overhaul-to-ease-traffic</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The construction of a critical road project in Quetta, supervised by Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti, is underway, aiming to ease traffic congestion and enhance connectivity.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to the details, the 3.7-kilometre-long road begins at Kidney Centre and connects to Airport Road.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A major component of the project is a one-kilometre-long flyover at Samungli Road, linking Sabzal Road to this route. Once completed, the flyover will resolve persistent traffic jams near the Kidney Centre.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The project features a six-lane road, service lanes, 20-foot-wide footpaths, and a dedicated utility corridor.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As an integral part of the North-South road network, it carries an estimated cost of Rs6 billion, with 30% of the work already completed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Currently, commuters entering the city from Airport Road rely on a single route via Koyla Phatak. Any disruption on this stretch results in severe traffic bottlenecks, affecting mobility across North and South Quetta.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Western Bypass serves as an alternative, but heavy traffic often causes congestion at Khizi Chowk. This new road is set to provide a much-needed solution, benefiting residents of Killi Barat, Killi Gul Mohammad, and surrounding areas.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The project’s extension will further enhance connectivity, linking Airport Road to Baleli Bypass and extending towards Sarai Garagai and Kuch Road.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the south, it will integrate with the drainage channel near Bolan Medical College, reaching Sariab Custom and connecting to Sibi and Mastung roads.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Designed as a high-speed six-lane corridor, the road will significantly improve traffic flow.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;CM Sarfraz Bugti is closely monitoring the project, addressing challenges to ensure its timely completion.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Authorities have been directed to accelerate work and deliver the project as soon as possible.&lt;/p&gt;
