LAHORE - Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif has said that Walton Flyover project has been completed within a short period of two months while a high standard and transparency have also been maintained.

Speaking on the occasion, the chief minister said that the first phase of the public welfare project of making Ferozpur Road signal-free from Walton to Ferozepur Road had been completed with the construction of the flyover while work is in progress round the clock on the second phase of the project. He said that this project was scheduled to be completed in July but the way the work is being carried out expeditiously, it is hoped that it will be completed in June.
Shahbaz said that the completion of the project would not only save time of the people and streamline the flow of traffic but resources would also be saved as Ferozepur Road would become signal-free. He said that the project would also facilitate doctors, nurses, paramedical staff and patients going to General Hospital and Children Hospital. He said that completion of 872 meter long Walton Flyover costing Rs700million within 62 days is the result of the best coordination between political leadership and the agencies working on the project.
Shahbaz Sharif said that he had always believed that time was wealth and should not be wasted. He said that every moment of the nation was precious and the projects of public importance have to be completed with a national spirit. He said that energy projects will also be executed at the maximum speed. He said that completion of Walton Flyover project in a very short period is reflective of the same passion and determination of the Punjab government.

He said that the first phase of the project had been completed while its second phase will be finished by the month of June.

He said that DG LDA Ahad Cheema was like a younger brother to him and was very honest and hardworking officer and that is why he has been awarded Tamgha-e-Imtiaz by the government. He said that credit for quality and early completion of Walton Flyover goes to Assembly Members Ramzan Siddique Bhatti and Mian Naseer, Vice Chairman LDA Khawaja Ahmad Hasaan, concerned departments, DG LDA, contractors, Chairman NESPAK, Chairman PESPAK and other officers who worked day and night for the completion of the project.
