Rawalpindi: Work on the Rawalpindi Ring Road project has reached around 85% completion, while the PC-1 for the Thallian Interchange, estimated at PKR 4.8 billion, has been approved by the relevant authority.
According to project details, the total cost of the Rawalpindi Ring Road, including the Thallian Interchange, stands at PKR 51.4 billion.
Officials said the 38.6-kilometre route includes key interchanges at Banth, Chak Beli Khan Road, Adiala, and Chakri, where construction work has also reached an advanced stage.
The Ring Road is expected to be opened for traffic by mid-June; however, it will initially operate without the Thallian Interchange.
The Thallian Interchange and a two-lane motorway link road beyond it will be developed in a later phase by the National Highway Authority (NHA) and opened separately once completed.
Sources in the Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA), which is executing the project, said remaining work on the main corridor is progressing steadily and that about 15% of work is still pending on the route and interchanges.
They added that funds for land acquisition required for the Thallian Interchange are available within the overall project cost, and construction activity is continuing under monitoring to ensure timely completion.
