Khayaban-e-Iqbal Road will be connected to Margalla Road via 2 interchanges: CDA

Khayaban-e-Iqbal Road will be connected to Margalla Road via two interchanges: CDA. According to public media sources, the Capital Development Authority (CDA) has planned to connect Margalla Road and Khayaban-e-Iqbal by creating two interchanges that will improve traffic flow in the city.

The CDA’s engineering wing would create the interchanges at Shaheen Chowk and E-11 Chowk, according to details. The CDA board of directors will discuss finalising the consultant firm during a planned meeting.

According to reports, Khayaban-e-Iqbal is one of Islamabad’s busiest roads due to the proximity of government offices and educational institutions to Shaheen Chowk. On the other side, the road is congested as a result of the construction of apartment buildings and wedding marquees in E-11.
