No. CDA's 7 October 2026 release records the foundation stone and a one-month completion target. It does not say the underpass is complete or open to traffic.
CDA states PKR 1.4 billion after reducing the initial PKR 1.6 billion estimate through cost optimization.
No. The official release contains no transaction-price series, rental forecast or investment-return guarantee.
CDA's official release says the Prime Minister laid the foundation stone for the Kashmir Chowk Underpass in Islamabad. The authority describes the scheme as a congestion-relief and road-connectivity project linking movements from Serena and Faizabad towards Murree and other relevant destinations.
CDA says the finalized project cost is PKR 1.4 billion, reduced from an initial PKR 1.6 billion estimate. The release puts current junction traffic at about 107,000 vehicles and lists dedicated underpasses, four slip roads and approximately five acres for expanded road infrastructure and associated facilities.
The authority targets completion within one month. It also says travel between Islamabad and Rawalpindi could fall to about 16–18 minutes after the project is fully integrated with planned expressway-lane expansion. FPN treats both statements as forward-looking authority targets rather than completed-work evidence.
Improved roads can affect accessibility, but this release does not prove a price increase for any sector, scheme, plot or commercial unit. Before relying on the project in a purchase decision, verify the exact location, legal access, title and authority record, on-ground completion, operating traffic plan, transfer status, dues and a dated comparable asking-price sample.
