The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has demolished 124 structures and sealed 58 buildings along the Islamabad Expressway. The enforcement operation targeted illegal constructions, encroachments, and violations of building regulations.
The actions took place between Sohan and Khanna Bridge along the Expressway Service Road (East). This area is currently undergoing a major road expansion project.
The expansion project covers a 9.3-kilometre stretch from Faizabad to Gulberg. According to the CDA, more than 28 percent of the project has been completed. The development involves creating a dual carriageway with three lanes on each side to improve traffic flow and provide better access to nearby residential areas.
Construction work is ongoing across several sections, including drainage facilities, bridges, road foundations, and excavation. Additionally, all 153 piles for a major underpass have been completed.
The CDA stated that the finished project is expected to reduce fuel consumption, commuting time, and traffic congestion for motorists using the Expressway.
