Dear sheikh, being a ganja is no sin…please respect that community. …many of your elders may belong to them…
I think PML-N may cancel the budget of health and education but they will try their level best to complete this road project as it will give them a major boost in the eyes of the Pindi/Isb crowed.
Moreover, Phase 3 is long section but I don't see it as tricky. And they will do it section by section. So I am optimistic about it. Rest Allah knows everything.
Work on Phase-2 commenced today and I was quite impressed that the digging was on going at very fast pace.
As Nadir said, route from Airport chowk to Isb is VVIP, so it will be done at any cost.
My main concern is Phase-3. Lets wait and see
Million$$$ bhai,
I am against ganja not because of his physical appearance but because of his poor planning and governance. .
CDA has approved a new policy for section III of this project which will allow the housing societies to build the Approved flyovers/interchanges themselves provided they are in accordance with the design prepared by CDA. Societies will also be responsible for maintenance of these for two years, but, they will not be allowed to use these for any commercial gains. Lets see how this model works.
I am not sure how CDA can allow the housing societies to do that? The NHA has right of way and owns the land either side of the ISB highway and it hasnt allowed DHA for example to encroach on its land, let alone allow CDA to make policy on private parties closing of sections of the road for development. Dont get me wrong, I dont disagree with a policy which puts the cost of these projects on private parties as the increasing land prices benefit private housing schemes and tax payer money shouldnt be used to benefit private parties and home owners who dont even pay their taxes.
Yesterday work was started after faizabad bridge and digging was ongoing when i passed after my office time.
Yes, the work has already started on the next phase…
Start of work on 2nd phase will give lot of boost to legitimate housing societies around this signal free corridor especially Gulberg.
If policy for building the flyovers by Private partnership is approved then Gulberg, Judicial colony and Airport Societies should build a flyover jointly and this will give them huge benefits with exceptional gains by members as well.Overall all these have excellent location.
As expected…
Expect the unexpected!
Rates in gulberg improved 1-3 lac for every size in couple of days with this development, unexpected for many commoners.
If phase3 is started as per promised in march 2016, zone 4/5 going to shine including dha, pwd and may bheria as well. I don't know ab multi dealers ka Kia bane ga, another year to wait.
Please don't make it battle of zones guys...Its all Islamabad. I believe ph 2 and 3 of the project will be completed on time, and its a win win for the govt and the ppl.
Gulberg will definitely benefit and so will all societies till Rawat. DHA 2 K,L,M has already been increasing since last 3 months.
There is a ad in today's paper in which cda ask for press qualification of bids for signal free coridoor my question is what it is about if phase 2 is already started
Interesting. Yes this advertisement is phase 2 + phase 3 combined i.e. All from Faizabad to GT Road Rawat. CDA seems to be spinning its wheel fast - thanks to political will to do 
So now CDA will start work on all phases at once is it?
I think that will be about to make underpass or over head bridges just like I-8 at 3 signlas i.e sohan signal,khana pull signal and koral chowk signal.
Yes , I think this pre qual deals with just the interchanges and over/ underpasses…from Faizabad till GT Road
What i feel is work on Phase 2 & 3 will start at the same time so that project can be completed within 2-years (early 2018).
They've been amassing equipment and stuff for a few months now near the Army/police checkpoint on the airport rd for phase-II and it should get completed easily without any real issues.
Problem is phase III (Rawat - Koral) and I honestly don't think it will get completed in time or at all because it is long, has multiple high bridges which include a long ~400 meter bridge and has no real VVIP traffic.
@Irfan Nothing has so far been done anywhere near phase III 'yet', this is my daily route (rawat - exp. Way - airport).
