Islamabad: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) is set to launch a new road project aimed at improving traffic flow for vehicles coming from Murree and entering the Srinagar Highway (formerly Kashmir Highway).
The proposed project involves constructing an underpass at the junction of Murree Road and Srinagar Highway, allowing vehicles to bypass traffic signals and ensure seamless entry onto the highway. The underpass will also connect with the ongoing Serena Interchange project, which is expected to be completed within the next few months.
CDA Chairman Muhammad Ali Randhawa, accompanied by Member Engineering and other key officials, visited the Murree Road area to review the proposed underpass and its connection with the Serena Chowk Interchange. During the visit, they discussed how the underpass could address the significant traffic issues at the junction of Srinagar Highway and Murree Road.
Chairman Randhawa emphasized that the underpass would greatly benefit commuters traveling from Murree and Kashmir to Islamabad. He directed that the underpass be fully integrated with the Serena Chowk Interchange project to further enhance connectivity across the city.
During the briefing, officials informed Randhawa that soil testing for the underpass is already underway, with feasibility studies, design work, and planning in progress. The CDA Chairman stressed the importance of completing the underpass as a long-term solution to Islamabad’s traffic challenges.
Randhawa instructed the relevant teams to expedite the design phase and present the proposal for approval as soon as possible. Once completed, the underpass is expected to make traffic from Murree to the Srinagar Highway signal-free, ensuring smoother, more efficient travel for commuters.
