The Margalla Avenue Extension is a major road development project designed to improve north south connectivity in Islamabad and provide a faster alternative route for commuters traveling between western sectors and the city center. The extension aims to link Margalla Avenue with key arterial roads, reduce pressure on Kashmir Highway and support better access to new residential zones being developed under Islamabad’s long term master plan.
The project includes construction of a new roadway, widening of existing sections, development of interchanges, installation of street lighting, drainage improvements and modern traffic management features. The extended corridor is planned to offer smooth and safe travel while reducing congestion on parallel routes. It also enhances connectivity for upcoming sectors and supports planned expansion toward the western side of the capital.
