Lyari Expressway is a highway currently under construction along the Lyari River in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan. This toll highway is designed to relieve congestion in the city of Karachi. Lyari Expressway was scheduled to be completed in December 2009 but completion was delayed due a lack of funding and difficulties in resettling affected residents. In June 2016, it was announced that the final legal hurdles had been cleared and 99% of construction was complete, with the last 1 km to be finished by the end of the year. The final budget estimate is 11 billion Pakistan Rupees, up from the original estimate of 5 billion.
