Faizabad Interchange (Urdu: فیض آباد ادلا بدلی) is a cloverleaf interchange which serves as a junction between Islamabad Highway and Murree Road in Islamabad, Pakistan.
Constructed by NESPAK at a cost of Rs 130 million (£745,000),[1] the interchange was completed in January 1998,[2] making it the first modern cloverleaf interchange in Pakistan.[3] Over 100,000 vehicles use this interchange daily and serves a major entry and exit point to Islamabad and Rawalpindi.[4] The interchange is only a few cloverleaf interchanges in the world where three roads have been joined rather than two, linking the Islamabad Expressway, Murree Road, and the IJP Road.
