Published February 25, 2020

THE bridge over the Hub river at Hub chowki is in bad condition and can collapse at any time.

National Highway 25 stretches for 813 km from Karachi to Chaman in Balochistan. The Hub river bridge is on the main part of the N25 RCD road.

Thousands of heavy trailers besides public and private vehicles use the bridge daily.

This is a request to the provincial governments of Sindh and Balochistan, aand the National Highway Authority to take immediate measures to reconstruct the bridge.
