ISLAMABAD: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has proposed to use the existing six-km-long highway up to Barkahu Bypass and extend it further by a new four-km extension to connect it with the mega housing project “Margalla Enclave”.

As per the Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi’s directive to develop a five-minute highway from Prime Minister House to Margalla Enclave, a special team of the CDA’s planning wing has completed the site identification and submitted the proposal to CDA Chairman and Islamabad Chief Commissioner Muhammad Ali Randhawa.

According to the media report that CDA senior officials discussed the feasibility of the 10-km-long highway, which would require significant investment and at least a year to complete.

To save costs and speed up construction, the proposal proposes to build a parallel highway along the existing route from Prime Minister House to Barkahu Bypass. This approach will reduce government expenditure by Rs 6-8 billion.

Once completed, the new highway will provide high-speed connectivity between Margalla Enclave and the Prime Minister’s House.
