The development on Rawalpindi Ring Road to be expected in early 2019

Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP), striving hard to manage smooth flow of traffic in Islamabad, has recommended construction of Ring Road on Grand Trunk (GT) Road from Sang Jani or Tarnol to Rawat “T” Cross, avoiding capital city area on a top priority basis. 

Beijing-based AIIB is scheduled to approve the loan by December this year. The Punjab government, which recently approved the project, will contribute $57m to the project, which has a total cost of $459m and the remaining $402 m is paid by AIIB.

The proposed alignment of the Rawalpindi Ring Road will originate from Channi Sher Alam Bridge on the G.T. Road near Rawat and terminate at Thalian interchange on the M-2 motorway between Rawalpindi and Lahore near the Islamabad International Airport.

Based on the assessments of government systems and project institutional arrangements, the AIIB will also provide institutional strengthening support to the project. A project document released by AIIB says the development of the Rawalpindi Ring Road will help relieve the bottleneck on the N-5 national highway, it will help alleviate congestion in central areas of Rawalpindi city and it will release space and save travel time for non-motorized transport, public transport and commuting vehicles within the twin cities.
