After the High Court deadline, Lyari Expressway completion date was finally announced. Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi inaugurated the pending northbound track of expressway on 28 January 2018, which starts from Mauripur and end at Sohrab Goth Interchange.[3]

Public attention was focussed on the Lyari, which wrecked (sic) destruction in 1977 when heavy rains caused severe flooding to 200 deaths. Wapda did come up with a flood protection plan but this was never implemented. In 1986, the Lyari Expressway was proposed as an alternative to the Northern Bypass, but was found unfeasible since 100,000 people would have to be evicted. The floods in 1993 led to the revival of the plan for the expressway as a device for flood protection apart from its function of providing another traffic corridor. Opposition from civil society led the Sindh government to arrange public hearings on the project in 1996 after which the Lyari Expressway was dropped and attention was focussed on the Northern Bypass for port traffic. This was found feasible in view of the fact that most of the land on which it was to be built was uninhabited. Four years later in 2000 the Karachi Port Trust decided to begin work on the Bypass on a BOT basis. It was to be a six-lane highway 68 km in length that would connect Mauripur to the Super Highway beyond the toll plaza at Sohrab Goth.

Stretching 38 kilometres, this super-long expressway literally takes you from one end of the city to another. It has reduced the travel time between different destinations from hours to minutes. The noteworthy expressway project is based on a two-way multi-lane road that runs through almost the entire city and is based on multiple entry/exit points, each of which is marked by a toll plaza and has a nominal entry fee. Constructed along the Lyari River in Karachi, it is a limited entry expressway and heavy traffic or two-wheeler vehicles are not allowed to travel on it.

Sohrab Goth Interchange marks the starting point of the expressway. The traffic coming from Shahrah-e-Pakistan and outside the city can use this interchange to get onto Lyari Expressway and continue with their journey. It is also the exit point for the traffic coming from the opposite direction. The maximum speed limit on this urban highway is 80 km/hr.

Note: Please read the signboards carefully or turn on Google Maps while driving on this expressway. If you accidentally miss a cut or turn on Lyari Expressway, you would have to travel several kilometres more until you reach the next interchange, which would be a waste of both time and fuel.

We hope the information and details we have shared above will help you understand the route of the Lyari Expressway and navigate through it in a more effective way.

The general wisdom of the populace for infrastructure projects which cost billions of rupees to the public exchequer is that they will last for decades and make their life easier. However, the Lyari Expressway has proven otherwise. The 38-kilometre long road, built along the Lyari River, in Karachi, which became fully operational in 2018, is still facing critical issues to date despite an upwards of Rs 9 billion of public monies spent on its construction. For instance, the North and South bound tracks of the expressway still have unfinished service roads, and the railings and jersey barriers are in a dilapidated condition.

Apparently these buses used this location as their parking space prior to the opening of the expressway, it appears no one asked them to shift their bus stand to another location after the expressway was opened for traffic.

This results in annoying blockage of the expressway right at the exit on the Super Highway and one has to wait for five to 10 minutes for the buses to move slightly to make just enough space for one car to pass through.

I would request the National Highway Authority and the Highway police to look at the problems so that the true benefits of the expressway can be passed on to commuters without posing serious accidents to life and property.

On 23 September 2005 the residents Zia-ul-Haq Colony Gulshan-e-Iqbal staged a protest rally against city government. The residents got enraged as city government announced the demolition of their houses for Lyari expressway. The police resorted to firing on the peaceful demonstration causing injuries to one of the community activists. The injured person, identified as Salahuddin. This police firing incident ignited the community and several hundred people gathered against the police. The enraged community protesters then marched towards the main Rashid Minhas Road near Moti Mehal, where they blocked the vehicular traffic. The area police resorted to teargas shelling and firing in the air. The police also arrested nine persons on the charges of creating law and order.

Controversy has surrounded the Lyari Expressway Project since it first began in 2002. The expressway, which will be 16 kilometers long and is expected to bring in Rs. 400 million of revenue, was originally proposed to alleviate several problems including the erosion of the Lyari riverbeds and traffic congestion in the area.

The famous Lyari Expressway project is now open. Atleast in half. The proposed project called for a 4-lane expressway on either side (2-ln each side) of Lyari river. The South bound corridor is now complete and it was inaugurated today (Feb 11, 2008). It is however, not open for general public yet, which is expected to happen in next few days.


While Lyari expressway project has done a good job in channelizing the river lyari, not enough is done to stop people walking across it and using raw sewage for bathing. Following photo is from 3rd week of March 2010.

This study is performed to examine the viability of extension of Lyari expressway up to Hawksbay to provide direct access to Mauripur industrial from Motorway M-9. For this purpose, Think Transportation performed traffic volume count and origin destination surveys on all toll gates of Lyari Expressway and other traffic attraction roads. This information is then utilized to estimate increase in demand due to extension of expressway up to Hawksbay. 0852c4b9a8
