Kalma Underpass

Kalma Underpass is a road tunnel beneath Ferozepur Road in Lahore that carries four lanes of traffic in each direction. The structure connects southern suburbs directly to central areas, allowing vehicles to pass under a busy intersection without waiting at traffic signals.

Construction began in late 2012 and the underpass opened to traffic in early 2013 after a rapid building period. This project represented a major upgrade to Lahore's transportation infrastructure at that time.

The underpass serves as a central connection point in Lahore, reflecting the city's growth and adaptation to modern transportation needs.

The underpass is a straightforward route with clear lane markings and minimal turns, making navigation simple for drivers. Lighting throughout the tunnel helps visibility, though drivers should stay alert as traffic can be heavy during peak hours.

The structure was built as two separate parallel tunnels rather than one large tunnel, which was a distinctive engineering choice for its time. This dual-bore design required careful coordination but provided operational flexibility and made future maintenance more manageable.
