CDA to set up weighbridges to handle extra-loaded vehicles

ISLAMABAD- Capital Development Authority (CDA) would establish weighbridges at entry points to the Federal Capital to prevent extra-loaded vehicles from plying on the city roads.
“The weigh bridges would be constructed on Islamabad Expressway, Kashmir Highway and IJ Principal Road,” informed a senior official of the Authority while talking to TheNation on Wednesday. He said that weighbridge on the Expressway is under construction, which would be completed by next month.
The official said that the civic agency has decided to ban vehicles loaded beyond a specific weight on the three corridors to prevent them from damage. “Capital, so far, had no system for weighing vehicles, which resulted in early damage of roads built with million of rupees,” he added.
