The Margalla Avenue or Margalla Expressway (Urdu: خیابانِ مارگلہ) is a 33-kilometer six-lane highway in the Margalla Hills area in the suburbs of Islamabad, Pakistan. It was planned in 1966, but work on it was stalled till 2021. The road is an alternative to the Srinagar Highway, and provides easy access of the tenth and eleventh sectors of Islamabad to the N-5 National Highway. This road is a crucial section of the larger Rawalpindi Ring Road project as it connects the town of Sangjani (on the N-5 National Highway) to the town of Barakahu (on the Murree Expressway).
The Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan laid the foundation stone of the project on 20 March 2022. The Chief Minister of Punjab, Sardar Usman Buzdar, Federal Interior Minister, Sheikh Rasheed Ahmad, and other notables were also present during the foundation stone laying ceremony of the project.[1]
The road was inaugurated by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on 20 June 2023.[2]
