Rawalpindi: Rawalpindi Ring Road (RRR) project, which was proposed 27 years as an alternate route for heavy traffic, has instead been converted to a bypass, according to a news source. The project is now handed over to Punjab Highway Department, while it was previously with the Rawalpindi Development Authority.
Under the new arrangements, project costs have been cut to PKR 47 billion, while the length of the road has been reduced to 38 kilometres, and that of the link road to 15.59 kilometres. Furthermore, an economic zone, which was previously part of the RRR project, has also been cancelled.
For Rawalpindi Bypass, which starts from Channi Sher Alam Bridge in Rawat on GT Road, and ends at Thalian Interchange on Lahore-Islamabad Motorway M-2, land spanning 1,080 acres will be acquired. This project will comprise six flyovers, 10 overhead bridges, and three interchanges.
