China Chowk underpass to be opened by December end

ISLAMABAD—The construction work on China Chowk underpass will be completed by the end of December and it would be opened for the traffic on the same date, CDA sources said here Sunday.
The Rs 617 million project, which was to be completed in August but delayed due to heavy monsoon rains, is near to its completion, the official said adding “the construction work is in full swing now.” The project was delayed twice, first it was to be completed by the end of August, but due to heavy monsoon rains the project opening was rescheduled for September.
The contractor again did not meet the deadline which further added the miseries of the commuters in the twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad. The official said that the linking of 7th Avenue to Kashmir Highway would also be completed by the end of this month, while CDA would construct a flyover on Khayaban-e-Suharwardi road next year to divert the traffic coming from Zero- Point to Aabpara on Kashmir Highway. He said two pedistarian bridges on 7th Avenue would also be installed by this month.—Online
