Rawalpindi: The authorities concerned are considering the construction of two new interchanges on the Rawalpindi Ring Road (RRR) route through collaborations with private housing scheme developers, a news source reported.
The proposal was shared in a meeting held yesterday (June 28) to discuss various aspects of the planned project. Rawalpindi Commissioner Capt (R) Muhammad Mehmood presided over the session.
The suggestion to bring the developers of private housing societies on board for the construction of interchanges along major road avenues in the city was first shared by the Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) earlier this month. According to sources within the authority, the purpose of this collaboration is to reduce the traffic load on city roads, and to help finance the requisite infrastructural developments.
As per the details available, the proposed interchanges will be developed at the ring road’s starting point near Radio Pakistan Building on GT Road, and at the ending point on Sanjani Interchange on the Lahore-Islamabad Motorway M-2.
Reportedly, Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar will give the final approval for the construction of these interchanges under the private-public partnership model.
