ISLAMABAD: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has moved forward with plans to construct an underpass at Kashmir Chowk on Murree Road, with the project estimated to cost around Rs1.4 billion.
The proposed underpass, located at Dhokri Chowk near Islamabad Club, is intended to improve traffic movement at the busy intersection. Under the planned arrangement, vehicles travelling from the Serena side towards Rawalpindi will use the underpass, while traffic heading towards Murree will pass over its upper section.
CDA has opened technical bids submitted by Habib Construction Services and M/s Kamran Khan (Kundi Group). During the evaluation process, Kundi Group was declared non-responsive and subsequently filed a grievance with the civic authority. Financial bids will remain unopened until the complaint is decided. Officials expect the matter to be resolved within 15 days.
Separately, CDA is also preparing another underpass at the junction of Faisal Avenue and Margalla Road, where the PC-I is being finalised before the tendering process begins.
The projects form part of CDA’s broader road infrastructure programme aimed at improving traffic flow across Islamabad. Meanwhile, the federally funded 10th Avenue project remains incomplete, with about half of its work still pending despite its original 2024 completion target.
