ISLAMABAD:
To resolve the traffic congestion in the city, the apex civic authority of the federal capital has invited bids from companies for the construction of a flyover and two underpasses at Rawal Chowk and on Park Road.
Separately in a meeting at the authority, development work in the two projects of Park Enclave, and urban sectors including E-12, I-12 and I-15 were discussed.
Capital Development Authority (CDA) officials on Thursday said that following directions from the authority's chairman Aamer Ali Ahmed, bids have been invited from technically sound and well-reputed firms registered with Pakistan Engineering Council under the single-stage, two envelope procedure.
The project to build a flyover and two underpasses are expected to cost around Rs1.25 billion. The project concept-I (PC-I), as well as the design of the project, have been finalised over the past ten months.
