Among the most notable updates is the long-overdue clearance of solid waste along the Islamabad Expressway (IJP Road). Neglected for decades, this cleanup drive is a key part of CDA’s broader mission to enhance urban cleanliness and environmental health. Chairman Mengal emphasized that this effort reflects the Authority’s renewed commitment to making Islamabad cleaner, greener, and more livable for residents and visitors alike.

Complementing this initiative, the CDA will construct service lanes on both sides of the IJP. This infrastructure upgrade is expected to ease traffic congestion, improve road safety, and streamline vehicular movement along one of the capital’s busiest arteries.

In another significant step toward safer urban mobility, the CDA plans to install eight pedestrian bridges at critical points across the IJP. These bridges will offer pedestrians secure crossing options, reducing the risk of accidents and improving overall accessibility. This is a welcome move in a city where pedestrian infrastructure has often been overlooked.

Together, these initiatives signal a major transformation for Islamabad, aimed at modernizing infrastructure, enhancing public safety, and promoting sustainability. With Chairman Mengal at the helm, the CDA appears committed to delivering meaningful, people-focused progress in the capital.
