Karachi soon to have elevated Expressway - $225 million deal with Malaysian company

Re: Karachi soon to have elevated Expressway - $225 million deal with Malaysian company

i am not too excited about this project. I am still waiting to hear something concrete about the mass transit project. When will we have a metro system (or something equivalent) in our cities. 200+ million dollars on the expressway seems a bit too expensive to me.

Some one also mentioned on skysrapercity's mehfil Pakistan that this expressway is going to errode historical areas of karachi cause it is being constructed in the heart of old karachi. Some one shed some light on this.
