Rawalpindi: The Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) has decided to construct pedestrian bridges and an underpass at three busy road avenues of the city, reported a news source. According to RDA Director General Mehar Muhammad Hayat, this initiative comes as part of the Annual Development Programme (ADP) for 2019-20.
The underpass will be constructed on the opposite side of the Benazir Bhutto General Hospital, while pedestrian bridges will be built in Shah Khalid Colony (Chaklala) and Gulzar-e-Quaid.
As per reports, the Shah Khalid Colony continues to see many accidents on account of traffic congestion and a lack of proper walking facilities for pedestrians. To help deal with this situation, the RDA is expected to the construction of a pedestrian bridge in the area on a priority basis.
