An official of the Capital Development Authority (CDA) on Tuesday said that the project is currently underway.
The project was stipulated to be completed within two years and will be financed by the authority itself.
Under the project, two underpasses and a flyover will be constructed.
The official said that the services of a consultant have been hired for the project. A test file has been completed on the east loop of Park Road. Earthwork of the project has been completed.
Now, the official said, work is underway on putting a load on the loop, thereafter the piling work will commence.
One underpass will be constructed from Park Road to Murree Road and the other will be constructed from Faizabad towards Margalla Town.
