Rawalpindi: The city administration has initiated the development work to remodel the busy Kutcheri Chowk in the city, a news source reported. In this regard, it recently begun the process of hiring consultants to prepare the feasibility report for making Kutcheri Chowk into a signal-free corridor.
The project will include interchanges for traffic to enter
or exit the corridor without hassle. Since the chowk is an entry point for
traffic arriving from Lahore, it often remains congested.
The Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) will execute the project at an estimated cost of PKR 20 billion. Following the remodelling of the Kutcheri Chowk, the civic agency expects to resolve the problem of traffic jams within the vicinity and in overall Rawalpindi.
Similarly, RDA also plans to remodel Defence Chowk by
constructing a signal-free corridor in the area. The civic body plans to initiate
development work on this project after obtaining formal approval from the
Provincial Development Working Party (PDWP).
