Rawalpindi Ring Road Project

under construction

The Punjab government has proposed allocating 500 meters of land on both sides of the Rawalpindi Ring Road (RRR) Project for the development of economic zones, a medical city, tourism sites, a wholesale market, and a truck terminal. The project aims to reduce traffic congestion in Rawalpindi and promote organized urban growth. It includes setting up economic and industrial zones, a dry port, an expo center, transport terminals, wholesale and grain markets, an agro-forest park, a fruit and vegetable market, and a general bus stand along the Ring Road corridor. The project is expected to ease traffic congestion in Rawalpindi and Islamabad, create a clean, healthy, and safe environment, boost the regional economy, create new jobs, and improve urban services. Construction work is more than 75% complete, with some delays due to heavy rains. The project cost is Rs35 billion and is being executed by the Frontier Works Organisation (FWO). A feasibility study for Phase-II is underway.
