Islamabad: Capital Development Authority (CDA) Director Road Waqas Farid has announced the opening of PWD underpass for motorists from Thursday (October 21), news sources reported.
Reportedly, the much delayed PKR 432 million PWD Underpass project is a four-lane dual underpass developed on the Islamabad Expressway. The development work on the underpass has been postponed three times and is finally set to open to the public after the work on it has been completed. After completion, the project would alleviate traffic congestion on the busy Islamabad Expressway.
Additionally, in order to solve the traffic problem on Islamabad Expressway, the CDA is expanding the Korang Bridge, which is scheduled to be completed by December of this year. As per the details shared, the Korang Bridge extension project was awarded for PKR 628.5 million, which was 17% lower than the estimated budget. Similarly, the PWD project was awarded for PKR 428 million, which was 19% cheaper than the projected price. However, the project cost increased by 10% owing to the delays in its execution.
