Murree Road to get major upgrade
Previously, the Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) finalised two multi-billion-rupee projects to transform the heavily congested Murree Road corridor from Saddar to Faizabad, one of the busiest roads linking Rawalpindi with Islamabad.
The joint schemes, costing nearly Rs9 billion, include the construction of new service lanes and the complete rehabilitation of the existing carriageway.
RDA Director General Kinza Murtaza said the initiatives were prepared in response to directives from the Punjab government calling for urgent improvement plans for Rawalpindi’s road infrastructure.
“Murree Road has deteriorated badly over the years and needs immediate rehabilitation to provide relief to thousands of daily commuters,” she said.
