The initiative includes the removal of overhead cables, installation of new sewage systems, footpaths, benches, modern lighting, and food cabins.
Bank Road is now divided into four pedestrian-only blocks, with electric vehicles offering a free shuttle service.
The project is part of an ongoing effort to beautify Saddar’s commercial area, with future plans to extend underground cabling and make key intersections on Mall Road traffic signal-free.
