CDA Approves Hiring of ECSP to Merge Margalla Avenue with M-1 Motorway

ISLAMABAD: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has approved the hiring of Engineering Consultancy Services Punjab (ECSP) to merge Margalla Avenue with the Motorway (M-1) by constructing a 3.4-kilometer road segment.

The project involves building a 1.6 km patch of the road falling in Islamabad. ECSP will prepare the detailed design, estimation, environmental impact assessment (EIA), and bidding documents and supervise the construction.

The CDA had previously called for bids from state-owned firms only, and ECSP was the only company to submit a financial bid for the entire road. However, the CDA later decided to engage them only for the Islamabad portion. The cost for the 1.6 km patch is estimated at Rs78.75 million, which the CDA board has approved.

The project aims to link Margalla Avenue to the M-1 motorway, providing an alternative route for commuters traveling between Islamabad and GT Road.

In 2021, the CDA was directed by the prime minister to acquire and develop the road falling within Islamabad, while Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) was asked to work on the portion within Rawalpindi’s limits.

Benefit of the Margalla Avenue will be twofold when it will be connected to M1 motorway, which is only 3.4 KM apart; it will really help to reduce traffic on Srinagar highway and will be as a blessing for people coming from Peshawar, Swat, Hazara, Attock side. It is requested to CDA Chairman to please complete this project on priority. It is also proposed, if agreed, that to reduce the cost of the project it may connect to already available interchanges on Motorway, like Hakla or AWT/Paswal.
