Islamabad, Pakistan – Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif laid the foundation stone for the Murree Road underpass on Thursday, marking a major milestone in Islamabad’s infrastructure development. The underpass will provide a direct, signal-free connection to Srinagar Highway, significantly easing traffic congestion for commuters from Murree, Bhara Kahu, and surrounding areas.
Key Benefits of the Murree Road Underpass
✅ Faster Commute: Direct access from Islamabad International Airport to Muzaffarabad without delays.
✅ Reduced Traffic Jams: Eliminates the bottleneck at Kashmir Chowk roundabout.
✅ Improved Connectivity: Seamless link between Murree Road and Srinagar Highway.
✅ Expected Completion: Project to be finished by the end of next month.
Project Details & Progress
The Murree Road underpass is part of the Rs900 million Serena Interchange project, which was successfully completed earlier this year. With construction now in full swing, officials expect the underpass to be operational within 60 days.
Statements from Leadership
- PM Shehbaz Sharif praised Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, CDA Chairman Mohammad Ali Randhawa, and other officials for accelerating development in Islamabad.
- He emphasized that modern infrastructure is crucial for the city’s growth and economic progress.
How This Impacts Islamabad’s Traffic Flow

- Bypass the roundabout entirely, ensuring smoother traffic.
- Reduce travel time for daily commuters.
- Support future urban expansion in the region.
