The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has resumed work on G-7/G-8 underpass at Faisal Avenue. Effective traffic management/ diversion, in consultation of Islamabad Traffic Police, is being ensured to maintain the traffic flow on the avenue, while transplantation of trees, affected due to the project, is also being carried out, said a press release issued here on Thursday.
In the first phase, excavation on the eastern side has been started. In order to maintain smooth traffic flow in the construction area, traffic emerging from Faisal Mosque leading to Zero Point, Kashmir Highway, etc, has been diverted on the Service Road (west) of Sector G-7 which has been already widened to accommodate the heavy traffic flow.
A modern tree transplanter is also being utilized to shift the grown pine cheer trees, affected due to construction work, at alternative place in the vicinity. In addition to transplantation of grown trees, 100 cheer plants were also planted near this underpass so that on completion this project will not only ease the traffic flow on the avenue but would also add beauty to the city.
The construction of the underpass would be completed in six months. The construction of this underpass on Faisal Avenue will not only improve the flow of traffic on Faisal Avenue, but will provide the swift access to the residents of Sector G-7 and G-8.-PR
