Islamabad: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) on Sunday began installing traffic signals along the Ataturk Avenue, a news source reported. The civic body initiated the process of installing the signals from Khyaban-e-Soharwardi to Nazim-ud-Din Road.
Previously, CDA had floated tenders for the task of installing traffic signals along the avenue. During the process, traffic signals would be installed at six locations. These include junction of the avenue with Khyaban-e-Soharwardi, NADRA Chowk, junction of the avenue with Jinnah Avenue, and junction of the avenue with Fazal-e-Haq Road. The project of installing traffic signals along the road project is part of CDA’s initiative to implement smart signals in the capital city.
According to details, the dualisation work on the avenue had stared in 2017. Once the dualisation process reaches completion, it would help resolve the issue of congestion along this road. Last year in November, CDA had begun the work of laying down the wearing course on the road.
