ISLAMABAD: The Capital Development Authority has moved ahead with plans to widen and upgrade Attaturk Avenue, one of Islamabad’s key urban corridors, in a project aimed at easing congestion and improving connectivity between major sectors of the federal capital.
According to official documents, the project will cover the stretch from Express Chowk to Agha Khan Road and focuses on widening and improving the existing roadway to handle growing traffic pressure. The scheme forms part of the authority’s broader efforts to modernise Islamabad’s road infrastructure and streamline urban mobility.
Officials said the development scheme has been estimated at Rs232.76 million, reflecting the scale of civil works planned along the busy route. Contractors participating in the process are required to provide a bid security of Rs6.98 million as part of the procurement requirements.
Authorities said bids will be submitted electronically by March 20, 2026, with the opening scheduled shortly afterwards on the same day. The Attaturk Avenue expansion project is expected to strengthen Islamabad’s road network and improve traffic flow on an important route linking commercial centres and key urban zones of the capital.
