Srinagar Highway Flyover CDA Chairman Approved Construction

Islamabad: Chairman Capital Development Authority (CDA) Muhammad Usman has approved the construction of an elevated flyover at the intersection of the Srinagar Highway and Faqir Api Road, a busy point where routine accidents take place at regular intervals. Earlier the said highway was made signal free by introducing protected U-turns to reduce traffic congestion on the road. The Three protective U-turns at G-9/ G-10 Protective U-turn, Police Lines Protective U-turn, and G-12 Protective U-turn constructed as stop-gap arrangement could not serve the purpose and routine accidents took place. The govt has now decided to construct the flyover instead to minimize congestion and save precious human lives.
