ISLAMABAD: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has announced to launch new mega development ventures in the city.
The PC-1 of these projects has been prepared which will be presented in the meeting of CDA Working Party (CDADWP) meeting to be held soon. The meeting will be chaired by the CDA Chairman, Maroof Afzal and will be attended by the Members of the CDA Board and officers of relevant formations as well as the concerned departments.
The projects which have been envisaged includes the dualization of Attaturk Avenue, commonly known as Embassy Road, from Khybaan-e-Soharwady to Khyabaan-e-Margalla and construction of second carriage way of sector G-10 from the round about of service road (west) to Khyabaan-e-Iqbal.
It has been estimated that dualization of Attaturk Avenue from Khyabaan-e-Soharwady to Khyaban-e-Iqbal will cost Rs518.363 million while a PC-1 amounting to Rs444.694 million have been prepared for the construction of construction of second carriage way of sector G-10 from the roundabout of service road (west) to Khyabaan-e-Iqbal.
This would facilitate the traffic emerging from sector G-10, G-11, F-10, F11, D-12, E-11 and E-12. It is pertinent to mention that CDA will complete these projects with its own resources. These projects have been envisaged to ease the traffic burden on the roads particularly at the rush hours.
Similarly, CDA has also decided to start the development work in sector E-12/2, tenders in this regard have already been called and development work is likely to be started in coming days.
