The flyover connects North Nazimabad to Sajidabad and Orangi Town, alleviating traffic congestion in one of Karachi's busiest areas.
[citation needed] Constructed at an estimated cost of approximately PKR 1 billion,[5] the Banaras Flyover involved extensive use of heavy machinery, impacting the surrounding areas, including the destruction of local road gutters and drainage systems.
The project aimed to improve traffic flow, reduce commute times, and enhance connectivity between the adjoining neighborhoods.
Before the flyover's construction, Bacha Khan Chowk was a vibrant public space, often used for political rallies and community gatherings.
The Awami National Party (ANP), with a stronghold in the area, pushed for naming the flyover after Bacha Khan to honor his legacy.
