Islamabad: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) will construct a new interchange to link Sector I-16 with Srinagar Highway, according to a written reply submitted by Federal Minister for Interior and Narcotics Control, Senator Syed Mohsin Raza Naqvi, in the National Assembly.
The minister informed the House that the project is part of the Islamabad Master Plan, which includes the development of a connecting road between Sector I-16 and Srinagar Highway. As per the plan, the new interchange will be established at the intersection of 17th Avenue and Srinagar Highway to improve access and traffic flow.
He added that CDA is currently working on the development of Sector H-16, while the service road between Sectors H-16 and H-17 will also be built under the same initiative. Moreover, 16th Avenue — located between Sectors H-15 and H-16 — will be constructed in line with the provisions of the Master Plan. The number of interchanges and underpasses along 16th Avenue will be determined once the detailed design is finalized.
Senator Naqvi further stated that avenues across Islamabad are being developed strategically to ensure smooth traffic flow and minimize congestion. The ongoing construction of 10th Avenue, he said, is another step toward enhancing connectivity and mobility within the capital.
According to the written reply, Sector I-16 is currently under development, with residential construction underway. The CDA will proceed with the 16th Avenue and interchange projects based on future traffic requirements and the pace of urban expansion in the area.
