Work on 11th Avenue likely in next month

ISLAMABAD—The Capital Development Authority (CDA) is likely to start construction work on Rs 361.28 million 11th Avenue project next month.
In the first phase, the CDA would construct a four-kilometres road from Khayaban-e-Iqbal to the Kashmir Highway. The 11th Avenue starts from IJ Principal Road and ends at Khayaban-e-Iqbal. The project might be delayed as a shrine near Kazmi Chowk and two CDA’s tubewells may cause hindrance in the construction work. The CDA Road Directorate is planning to shift the shrine to some other place.
The authority would also construct five underpasses at different places, including the Kashmir Highway, F-10 and F-11, Nazim-ud-Din Road, Ibne Sena Road and Sohan Road. The Authority has so far constructed six avenues in the capital.—Agencies
