Work on G-7 & G-8 Underpass at Faisal Avenue Islamabad

ISLAMABAD: Work on G-7/G-8 underpass at Faisal Avenue has been resumed. Effective traffic management/diversion, in consultation with Islamabad Traffic Police, is being ensured to maintain the traffic flow on the avenue, while transplantation of trees, affected due to project, is also being carried out.

In addition to transplantation of grown trees, 100 cheer (چیٹر) plants were also planted near this underpass so that on completing this project will not only ease the traffic flow on the avenue but would also add beauty to the city.
