Margalla Road

The Margalla Avenue, also known as the Margalla Expressway, is a 33-kilometer six-lane highway in the Margalla Hills area in Islamabad, Pakistan. The road was planned in 1966, but work on it was stalled for many years due to various reasons, including land acquisition issues and conflicts between the contractor and the Capital Development Authority (CDA). The project was finally revived in 2021, and Prime Minister Imran Khan laid the foundation stone of the project. The road was inaugurated on June 20, 2023, by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, and it provides an alternative route to the Srinagar Highway, connecting the tenth and eleventh sectors of Islamabad to the N-5 National Highway. The Margalla Avenue is also an important section of the Rawalpindi Ring Road project and provides access to the M-1 motorway, Islamabad International Airport, and other major highways.learn more on wikipedia
