Karnal Sher Khan Shaheed Road (Urdu: سڑکِ کرنال شیر خان شہید), previously known as the IJP Road (Urdu: سڑکِ آئی جے پی), or the Inter-Junction Principal Road,[1] [2] is one of the busiest roads in the Islamabad–Rawalpindi metropolitan area in Pakistan, connecting Islamabad to Rawalpindi.[3] It also serves as a route for traffic coming from Punjab and Azad Kashmir going towards Taxila, Attock, and onwards to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.[4] It is named IJ Principle Road because it is the road that was going to be between the never-built Sector J and Sector I of Islamabad.

It starts at N-5 National Highway in the west and ends at Faizabad Interchange in the east, where it meets the Islamabad Expressway and Murree Road.[5] The total length of the road is 10.2 kilometers.[6]
