The major work on IJP Road in Islamabad is set to conclude within January 2023, former Capital Development Authority (CDA) chairman Capt. (R) Usman Younis tweeted yesterday.
He shared a video showing the progress made on the project so far, stating that the IJP road will be complete and fully functional by the end of this month, minus Agha Shahi (9th) Avenue flyover, which is still under construction.

Along with that, Younis highlighted the following progress made on the IJP Road reconstruction:
- Asphalt pavement, brick, and concrete (ABC) 70% complete
- Rigid Pavement is 90% completed
- Mandi Mor Bridge — all structure work completed except expansion joints & NJB
- Nullah Lai Bridge – all structure work completed except expansion joints
The project began in October 2021, with the initial date of completion being April 2023. It was awarded to the National Logistics Cell (NLC) after it came in as the lowest bidder.
While most of the project seems ready, the 9th Avenue flyover point will still see traffic jams for a while.

Undoubtedly CDA’s running projects are commendable gift to the people of all most all country who use the highway for reaching to their destinations all across the country .well done good job by CDA please keep it up.
You are very right, all theses projects in twin cities are for next 30-50 years and will shape the image of the country in terms of infra structure,
More than one and half years have passed and the 9th avenue flyover has no progress at all. Shameful performance by NLC and CDA which should be investigated by either judiciary or someone more competent instead of lazy administration of both organizations.
Being IJP Road resident, strange observation is that I never saw the labor wearing any safety shoes or helmets. Traffic diversions are never taken care of. No regular measures taken to reduce the dust, since it penetrated deeply inside our home cupboards. Living in pathetic conditions in Oct 21.
The credit goes to PM Shabaz Shareef undoubtedly.
Please divert heavy traffic to srinagar high way . Local community is facing serious problems due to long long traffic jams .
