The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has decided to launch major development projects in the city in the new fiscal year (FY 2023-24). The department has allocated Rs. 20 billion for them.
They will include the construction of Eleventh Avenue, Serena Chowk underpass, Shaheen Chowk Overpass, as well as Lahtrar Road, Park Road, and Murree Road widening projects.
Currently, CDA is working on development projects worth Rs. 100 billion in Islamabad. According to Chairman Noor-ul-Amin Mengal, the projects will conclude in the next 2 to 3 months.
Mengal also said that Eleventh Avenue will be merged with Srinagar Highway and IJP Road. He added that the patchwork on Islamabad Expressway will be completed soon.
The traffic from Serena Chowk to Kashmir and Murree will be made signal-free, Mengal said. The department will also eliminate traffic signals from Margalla Road, he added.
Mengal also mentioned the construction of a dual carriageway over Shaheen Chowk among the forthcoming projects. He added that the construction of additional lanes on Park Road and Lahtrar Road will also take place in FY 2023-24.

At least allot some funds and development work to other cities as well, why only capital
For other cities. Respective provincial govt and TMA has to work on projects
These are all CDA projects. How can CDA launch projects in other cities. Provincial governments would do such wweorks in their respective regions.
The exit / entrance points for private transport vehicles for in n outward passengers may be built at all four corners of the twin cities in future rather to rely upon on pir Wadai n Faizabad only since ages.
Where CDA going to almost change the Islamabad why the sectors I -10& I -9 are being neglected construction work on 10th avenue has been stopped in the halfway.
Destroying the beauty of Islamabad with useless construction. The only reason they are doing these projects is so that they can siphon of money into their pockets
Good job
Murree road widening projects. Kahan say kahan tk ?
Anybody know
Any project or program to develop the conditions of kahuta road specially Railway crossing and part of road from Kakpull till CDA agro scheem. Not fair that CDA is only interested in developing urban areas, neglecting the ruler areas is it not CDA responsibility to develop them also.
Dualisation of Kahuta road from Rawalpindi till tail end including Sinhala by pass, railway crossing and Kahuta bypass has already been approved and is in bidding process. However that is not CDA project but NHA.
