Zero Point Interchange is a large cloverleaf interchange in Islamabad, Pakistan, at the intersection of the Islamabad Highway, Kashmir Highway, and Khayaban-e-Suharwardy. The interchange was designed by ECIL,[1] and construction work started on 11 September 2008. The interchange was formally inaugurated in July 2011 by then Prime Minister of Pakistan, Yousaf Raza Gillani, though construction work on a loop was still in progress. The construction of the interchange was fully completed in 2012.[2] The project cost about PKR 4 billion.[3]
