In a significant move to ensure a smooth flow of traffic, the federal government has announced the construction of two new underpasses in Islamabad. This initiative, chaired by Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, is part of a broader plan to enhance the city’s infrastructure and ease traffic congestion.
Location of New Underpasses
The two underpasses will be built at:
- Serena Chowk: A bustling intersection that connects Constitution Avenue, Club Road (Murree Road), and other major roads.
- Srinagar Highway: A critical route that links Islamabad to other cities, including Rawalpindi and Murree.
The underpasses will be located at Serena Chowk and on the Srinagar Highway.
