The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has approved a significant Rs24.5 billion project for constructing three sports arenas in Islamabad's F-8, D-12, and G-11 sectors, alongside the 11th Avenue development project. This Development Working Party (DWP) decision, made on Thursday, aims to provide residents with modern sports facilities, including swimming pools, indoor gyms, and various sports courts.
The three projects, each worth around Rs1 billion, will be completed within a year, addressing the issue of scattered sports facilities in the city. Once finished, the 11th Avenue road, with a total length of 7.5km, will feature three lanes on each side and comprise 17 bridges and overpasses. Construction on the 11th Avenue began in June 2023 under former Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, but halted due to lack of funding.
The project was initially expected to be completed by December 2024, but the federal government's failure to allocate funds has left the road incomplete.
