Mohsin Naqvi orders early completion of Islamabad Expressway project
Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi visited the Islamabad Expressway project on Saturday morning to review the ongoing development work, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
On the occasion, Mohsin Naqvi stated that there will be no compromise on speed, quality, and transparency in the execution of the project. He also directed that the project be completed in a few months instead of one year.
He added that upon completion, the project will make transportation easier, faster, and more convenient for the residents of the twin cities.
It is necessary to mention here that work has officially started on the rehabilitation and widening of the dilapidated service road along the Islamabad Expressway in what appears to be a major relief for the citizens of Islamabad and Rawalpindi.
The 8.25-kilometer-long project will stretch from Faizabad to Koral Chowk. The scope of the project includes the construction of 6 carriageways, along with an underpass and a flyover to ensure smooth and uninterrupted traffic flow.
In a significant development, authorities have directed that the project be completed in a few months, against the initial timeline of one year.
Chief Commissioner Islamabad, Deputy Commissioner Islamabad, and other relevant officials were also accompanied by the Interior Minister on this occasion.
