Islamabad: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has launched a citywide rehabilitation and upgradation drive, beginning recarpeting of major roads, restoration of zebra crossings, and improvements in multiple residential and commercial sectors.
The initiative was reviewed during a meeting chaired by CDA Chairman Mohammad Ali Randhawa, where Member Engineering Syed Nafasat Raza and relevant officials briefed the authority on progress and upcoming work.
According to a CDA statement, the restoration of zebra crossings along key highways has already begun, with priority given to areas near hospitals, educational institutions, and high-traffic roads.
As part of the first phase, the Machinery Pool Organisation has started recarpeting major commercial zones, including Blue Area, F-6 Super Market, and F-7 Jinnah Super Market. Upgradation of all streets in Sector I-14 and improvements in the D-12 Markaz are also underway. Work on carpeting the main and service roads of E-12 is planned within this phase.
The project further includes repair and replacement of faulty streetlights and poles, installation of new signage boards for public guidance, and placement of speed breakers where required.
Officials told the meeting that sewage and drainage systems in several sectors will be addressed, with special attention given to covering open manholes and improving overall service infrastructure.
The CDA said the rehabilitation plan aims to enhance road safety, improve mobility, and upgrade basic civic amenities across Islamabad.
