Islamabad: Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi on Saturday conducted an early morning inspection of the T-Chowk Flyover Project to review the pace, quality, and overall progress of one of the capital’s key infrastructure developments.

During the visit, Minister Naqvi received a detailed briefing from project officials regarding various phases of construction. He was informed that piling, pile caps, and girder casting work had been completed—marking a significant milestone in the project’s timeline—while 60 percent of the protective wall construction had also been finalized.

Expressing satisfaction over the progress, the interior minister commended the efforts of the Capital Development Authority (CDA) and other executing agencies for maintaining steady momentum. However, he emphasized that quality must remain the top priority at every stage of construction.

“The T-Chowk Flyover Project must be completed within the stipulated timeframe and built to the highest standards. There will be no compromise on quality in any development work,” Naqvi stressed.

He directed the relevant departments to ensure comprehensive planning for the project’s completion, keeping in mind the future expansion of the Grand Trunk (GT) Road—one of the country’s busiest traffic arteries. Naqvi also instructed authorities to focus on landscaping and horticulture around the flyover to enhance the area’s aesthetic and environmental appeal.

Highlighting the project’s significance, the minister said the T-Chowk Flyover would greatly ease traffic congestion and provide signal-free access to Islamabad for commuters traveling from GT Road and adjoining areas. “Public convenience and service are our foremost priorities. Projects like this are designed to improve citizens’ daily lives and ensure smooth connectivity,” he added.

Officials accompanying the minister assured him that the project was progressing according to the approved schedule and would be completed within the designated deadline.

The visit was attended by the Inspector General of Islamabad Police, Deputy Commissioner Islamabad, CDA members, and other senior officials, who briefed the minister on safety measures, traffic management, and inter-departmental coordination.

Once completed, the T-Chowk Flyover Project is expected to transform one of Islamabad’s busiest entry points by reducing travel time, improving road safety, and enhancing the city’s overall urban landscape.
