The new Tayyip Erdogan underpass in sector F-8 is receiving widespread praise from commuters, the Capital Development Authority and Islamabad Traffic Police for its solid, high-quality construction and the immediate improvement in traffic flow.
Residents say travel has become faster and queues have thinned since the underpass opened. “The underpass is built really well, vehicles pass without stopping, congestion has gone down and we save time,” one commuter said, reflecting a common sentiment among daily road users.
A CDA spokesperson reiterated that the project followed approved specifications, noting that materials, design and construction met engineering standards and that no alterations were made to the master plan or lower plan during execution. The authority said the work was completed exactly as approved.
Islamabad Traffic Police confirmed that traffic is moving more smoothly at locations that previously experienced regular rushes, with vehicles now able to maintain continuous movement. The traffic authorities called the underpass a beneficial development for local commuters.
Many citizens highlighted that the underpass design prioritised convenience, making trips through F-8 noticeably easier. The combination of thoughtful design and durable construction has translated into practical relief during peak hours.
Taken together, public feedback, the CDA’s assurance on construction standards and the traffic police’s observations indicate that the Tayyip Erdogan underpass is a successful, citizen-friendly addition to Islamabad’s transport infrastructure that is already improving daily commutes.
