Canal Bank Road (Punjabi, Шаблон:Lang-ur, Sarak-e-Nehr) also known as Khayaban-e-Annemarie Schimmel,[1] is a major eight-lane east–west signal-free road which extends along the banks of the Lahore Canal in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan.[2] The road serves as a major central artery of Lahore and extends from Multan Road in Thokar Niaz Beg to BRB Canal Road in Khaira, passing through the neighbourhoods of Johar, Gulberg, Mughalpura and Harbanspura.[3]
Name change
Originally known as Canal Bank Road, in 2000, the Government of Pakistan renamed Canal Bank Road in honour of Annemarie Schimmel, for her works in Sufism and Muhammad Iqbal, a prominent philosopher and national poet of Pakistan.
Interchanges & exits
Шаблон:RJL There are 12 underpasses along the entire route of Canal Bank Road, which allows continuous flow of traffic from Thokar Niaz Beg to Harbanspura. The Thokar Niaz Baig Flyover allows motorists from Multan Road and the M-2 motorway to bypass Thokar Niaz Beg Chowk, which previously was a major choke point.
