Seventh Avenue was built at a cost of about PKR 70 million.[1] Recently, local traffic police decided to install speed cameras on the road to check over speeding motorists.[3]
On 25 February 2017, the Capital Development Authority decided to rename the road after the late writer Ahmad Nadeem Qasmi. The approval required for this was sent to the federal cabinet, however, no approval for the renaming was reported.[2]
