ISLAMABAD, Nov 30 (APP): Three major infrastructure projects in the federal capital — the T-Chowk Flyover, Shaheen Chowk Underpass, and Faizabad Interchange remodeling — have entered their final stages, with construction work progressing at an accelerated pace.
Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi on Sunday visited all three sites to review ongoing development activities. During the inspection, he expressed satisfaction with the pace and quality of work, directing authorities to ensure timely completion using all available resources.
To further ease traffic flow at Faizabad, the minister instructed that Loop 1 and Loop 2 be expanded to three lanes. He also ordered the installation of landscaping and lighting along both sides of the projects to enhance their visual appeal.
The minister noted that the completion of these initiatives will significantly improve traffic movement, reduce congestion, and facilitate daily commuters. He added that the T-Chowk Flyover, in particular, will benefit travelers from the twin cities and Punjab.
Chairman CDA Muhammad Ali Randhawa briefed the minister on the progress, stating that nearly 80 percent of the T-Chowk Flyover has been completed and is expected to open for traffic in early December. All pile caps and girder casting for the flyover are finished, while 75 percent of the protective walls are in place.
At Shaheen Chowk, all 70 girders for the underpass have been launched, with remaining structural work nearing completion. Ramp 1 and Ramp 2 of the project are already fully built.
Progress at the Faizabad Interchange also remains steady, with pole foundations and RCC walls completed and asphalt work currently underway.
The visit was attended by CDA members, the Deputy Commissioner, Additional Deputy Commissioner, and other senior officials.
