Islamabad Expressway to Get New Service Road
The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has taken a major step to address the growing traffic congestion on the Islamabad Expressway by initiating the process for construction and rehabilitation of a 9-kilometer service road from Faizabad Interchange to Gulberg Greens.
The project is expected to provide an effective alternative route for commuters facing severe traffic pressure on the main highway. According to officials, the proposed service road will run from Faizabad through key populated areas including Soan, Pindorian, Shakrial, Garden Town, Khanna, Kangal, Ghouri Town and Korral.
Once completed, the road will significantly ease daily commuting for thousands of residents traveling toward Islamabad and nearby commercial zones. CDA authorities stated that the project will be executed in phases, with the first phase covering the stretch up to Gulberg.
After completion of this portion, the service road will be extended further from Korral to Rawat, creating a continuous alternate traffic corridor along the expressway.
