Main Jinnah Avenue Asphalt Carpeting
The transformation of Jinnah Avenue into a sprawling 6-lane boulevard is moving through its final structural phases.
- Current Status: Heavy earthwork, grading, and base-course preparation are 100% complete across the core DHA Margalla Enclave and Park View City approach sectors. Asphalt carpeting is underway on the main boulevard as well as the connecting internal 40-foot streets of Blocks ME-1 and ME-2. Engineering teams are laying the underground utility networks (sewerage, water lines, and fiber-optic grids) ahead of the final surface paving to prevent future road cutting.
- Expected Completion Date: Final asphalt carpeting and lane markings on the primary corridor are on track for full operational completion by late Q3 2026 / early Q4 2026.
The Park Road Underpass
Designed to grant completely signal-free access by eliminating the heavy intersection gridlock near Zone 4's key junction, this project has seen accelerated momentum.
- Current Status: Following the successful completion of major capital underpasses by the CDA, structural engineering and excavation at the Park Road underpass site have gained massive traction. The piling phase and the structural barrel walls are currently being cast, with round-the-clock shifts deployed to minimize temporary traffic diversions along Main Park Road.
- Expected Completion Date: Following the expedited engineering model used for recent capital fast-track projects, the underpass structure is projected to be fully opened for traffic by late December 2026.

Future Expansion: The Eastern Bypass Plan
This 6-lane expansion is a critical component of Islamabad's master urban layout. It effectively breathes new life into the region formerly designated as the long-stalled "Kuri Model Village," transforming it into a high-end luxury enclave.
Future development phases involve extending this arterial road past the outer boundaries of Park View City and through the back contours of Bani Gala, ultimately creating a direct link to the Srinagar Highway. Once finalized, this network will form a comprehensive eastern bypass, drastically reducing cross-city commercial traffic through central capital sectors.
For real estate investors and homebuyers looking for long-term capital gains or luxury living within 15 minutes of Islamabad's financial district, the completion of this 6-lane link marks a definitive closing window on early-stage property values.
