The official said once constructed, 10th Avenue will not only help reduce traffic congestion on I.J.P. Road and Ninth Avenue but will also provide an alternative route to residents of I-10, I-11 and those living in adjoining areas of Rawalpindi to reach Islamabad.
According to the Islamabad master plan, the city is supposed to have an avenue after every sector to divide it with the next one for instance 7th Avenue, which divides G-6 and G-7.
