ISLAMABAD: Two new road infrastructure projects are planned in Islamabad as the interior minister on Wednesday announced the construction of underpasses at Kashmir Chowk and Faisal Masjid to ease traffic congestion and improve public convenience.
The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has already floated a tender for the construction of an underpass at Kashmir Chowk near Islamabad Club, which will be opened on August 12. The estimated cost of the project is Rs1.69 billion.
Under the project, CDA will construct an underpass to provide direct access to traffic heading towards Rawal Dam Chowk, while traffic travelling towards Murree will pass over the roof of the underpass.
Officials said the Faisal Masjid underpass would be constructed at the junction of Faisal Avenue and Margalla Road. The project is currently in the design stage, and officials said traffic on Margalla Road may pass through the underpass.
