Rawalpindi: The Punjab government has provided its approval to the launch of the Islamabad Ring Road during the next fiscal year (2021-2022), according to a news report published on March 7.
Both ring road projects in Islamabad and Rawalpindi are expected to cost PKR 100 billion. Once the two projects are complete, traffic issues in the twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad will ease.
Due to the three-month long tendering process, the development cannot be started this year. The government will invite bids from national and international construction firms and it will take up to three months to finalise the whole process.
In June 2020, Federal Minister for Aviation Ghulam Sarwar announced that the government had allocated PKR 50 billion for the project. However, it has been pushed to next year due to procedural delays.
