Islamabad: The Jinnah Square–Murree Road Underpass project in Islamabad has entered its final phase, with the Capital Development Authority (CDA) aiming to complete construction by the end of the current month.
Chairman CDA and Chief Commissioner Islamabad, Muhammad Ali Randhawa, visited the project site along with Member Engineering and other senior officials to review the progress. During the briefing, project directors, consultants, and engineers confirmed that approximately 75% of the work has already been completed. Slip roads on the site are in their final stages, and remaining construction activities are being carried out at an accelerated pace.
Following directives from Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, the CDA has intensified efforts to meet the completion timeline. Chairman Randhawa instructed teams to ensure 24/7 work on all sections of the underpass to achieve timely delivery. He emphasized that quality and safety standards must not be compromised under any circumstances.
“The underpass will provide signal-free travel for commuters heading from the New Islamabad International Airport toward Murree and Kashmir, significantly reducing travel time and fuel consumption,” Randhawa stated. “This is a major step toward improving Islamabad’s road infrastructure and traffic flow.”
He noted that the successful completion of the Jinnah Square Underpass will mark an important milestone in the CDA’s ongoing efforts to modernize the city’s transport network. Once operational, the underpass is expected to ease congestion on Murree Road, streamline connectivity, and enhance the overall commuting experience for residents and visitors alike.
