Dont know about other flyovers, but there is a flyover under construction at wireless gate near airport on Shahrah e faisal called "Jinnah Terminal flyover"
Rest of flyovers and underpasses in this corridors are not started yet, I THINK!

You must be talking about Elevated Express on SF! The project has been abandoned.

Wasn't there a flyover supposed to built at Hotel Mehran intersection on Sh. Faisal? That place is a really annoying red light because it can take as long as 3 minutes to pass it due to the traffic light. It is one of the few remaining traffic lights left on Sh. Faisal, and they need to remove it by building a flyover at this point.

An underpass was proposed to be built. Total of 3 underpass one at Ziauddin road at Sheraton intersection and one at Shaheen Complex.

Karachi's traffic has become an ugly nightmare once again. It's just like the old days, before the road infrastructure improvements started around 2000. Even with all these flyovers, underpasses, service lanes, new roads to provide alternate routes etc, driving is mental torture...traffic is usually bumper to bumber, with 10 zillion motorcycles zipping by at high speeds within inches of your car, leaving you to avoid hitting them. You just can't go above 60 kph on Sh. Faisal unless you're driving at 3 AM. And accidents are more serious now...cars routinely get totaled... humongous trucks barreling at the speed at which jumbo jets take off...swerving wildly from lane to lane, and their smaller cousins, the mini-buses who screech to a halt at any place they feel like....

So noisy, so polluted, so crowded, so chaotic, I hate Karachi's traffic. I might go burn down all the car and motorcycle factories along with the banks so that people can't buy any more vehicles.

This city is in serious, serious need of a metro rail system so that commoners get off the streets and let me drive in peace.

I need to GTFO here and go live in Islamabad or something before I go insane.

The traffic there is much more well-behaved in the nicer parts of the city. In Karachi that's not the case.

It's just OK. They could have made it a modern glass building, but they chose to go with the old fashioned look. Still, its decent.
