ISLAMABAD — The deteriorating condition of the Jauhar Morr flyover in Karachi has raised safety concerns, as damaged concrete, exposed steel reinforcement bars, and cracks have been spotted on its supporting pillars. Located opposite Askari IV, the flyover carries heavy traffic daily despite visible signs of damage.
Footage from the site shows concrete breaking away from several pillars, exposing steel bars that have started to rust. Cracks and fallen chunks of concrete can also be seen around the structure. The situation has reportedly been made worse by drug addicts who gather beneath the flyover at night.
Residents have complained that some individuals damage parts of the structure and light fires underneath it, leaving sections of the walls blackened by smoke. The space beneath the flyover has also become a makeshift shelter, with people reportedly spending the night there and leaving behind food and other belongings. Residents fear that continued deterioration, vandalism, and a lack of proper monitoring could pose a serious threat to public safety, particularly given the heavy traffic passing above and below the flyover.
