Karachi is finally witnessing a change which promises to bring faster, safer and smoother travel for millions. The 39-kilometre signal-free Shahrah-e-Bhutto Expressway from Qayyumabad to Kathore on the M-9 Motorway will be inaugurated on May 22, 2026. This mega project is not just a road, it is a symbol of progress, connectivity, and a modern Karachi.

More speed for travel, more connectivity
Karachiites have long been suffering from traffic jams and long travel hours. That’s all about to change with Shahrah-e-Bhutto. The fast expressway will reduce travel time, improve traffic flow and provide a safer commuting experience for daily travellers, businesses and transport services across the city.

A Game Changer for Karachi, Sindh
The Sindh Government should be credited for introducing a project that will change the city’s infrastructure. In addition to the expressway, future-oriented projects such as BRT systems are also being developed for the benefit of the future generations. These projects are a realization of a long-term vision of sustainable urban development.

Karachi: On the Path to the Future
Shahrah-e-Bhutto is not just a road. It’s the hope of a better Karachi. Modern infrastructure, better connectivity and improved mobility are making the city a stronger economic and urban hub for Pakistan’s future.
