A series of high-impact development projects focused on improving traffic flow and enhancing public amenities in the federal capital have been approved by the Interior Ministry.
The approvals were granted during a high-level meeting held at the Capital Development Authority (CDA) headquarters, attended by key federal and city officials on Wednesday. One of the flagship projects includes the remodelling and expansion of the Faizabad Interchange, a major traffic node connecting key parts of the twin cities.
The project will include the addition of two new lanes and widening of the current infrastructure, aimed at significantly reducing traffic bottlenecks and ensuring a smoother commute for thousands of daily travellers. To further streamline city traffic, the construction of a 2+2 lane underpass at Faisal Chowk was also approved. The underpass is expected to alleviate congestion at one of Islamabad's busiest intersections.
Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi emphasised that the design and execution of the project must be carried out with a forward-looking approach, considering future urban growth and traffic needs. During the meeting, the Interior Minister directed immediate operationalisation of the completed parking plaza in Blue Area, a long-awaited facility designed to address the parking woes in Islamabad's commercial hub.
