Connecting Islamabad’s Beauty: Alexander Road Construction Set to Begin
The Capital Development Authority (CDA) is gearing up to kickstart the construction of the “Alexander Road.” This road will link Islamabad with Haripur.
Nestled on the border of Islamabad and Haripur lies a legendary well known as Alexander Well, lending its name to the much-anticipated road project.
Boosting Connectivity and Tourism
The CDA has gone above and beyond to ensure a remarkable transformation for the region. Alongside the inauguration of the Margalla Avenue, the CDA has planned the widening and overhauling of the Shah Allah Ditta to Kentla Road, spanning a length of 7.5 kilometers.
Once completed, this road will extend up to Kenthla Area and have the potential to connect with Haripur in the future. The enhanced connectivity promises not only smoother travel but also a significant boost to tourism in the area.
Unveiling Hidden Gems
One of the highlights of this development is the centuries-old Buddha Caves, nestled within the picturesque Shah Allah Ditta area.
With the road’s widening and improvement, these historic caves will be more accessible to visitors, allowing them to explore the wonders of ancient times.
The harmonious blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage will surely captivate the hearts of both locals and tourists alike.
Regulating Development along the Path
While the Alexander Road promises numerous benefits, it is crucial to exercise stringent regulation along its length.
By ensuring responsible development practices, the CDA can preserve the delicate balance between progress and environmental conservation. By carefully managing growth, this project can truly be a testament to sustainable development.
A Rural Development Package
Traditionally focused on city projects, the CDA has received a special directive from the federal government. They are now tasked with executing a development package for the rural areas, providing an equal opportunity for progress and prosperity. With the CDA’s own funding driving this initiative, the rural landscape will witness significant improvements, bolstering the overall development of the region.
Navigating Margalla Hills
The 7.5-kilometer long Alexander Road will gracefully pass through Zone III of Islamabad, nestled amidst Margalla Hills.
While the project awaits the official approval of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) from the Environment Protection Agency (EIA), the CDA’s commitment to balancing development and environmental preservation is evident.
Every step will be taken to ensure that this project aligns with sustainable practices and preserves the natural beauty of the region.
