RRR main carriageway 99 percent complete: Commissioner
RAWALPINDI, Sep 08 (APP):Commissioner Rawalpindi Division Salman Ghani on Tuesday said the main carriageway of the Rawalpindi Ring Road(RRR) project was 99 per cent complete and directed the Frontier Works Organisation (FWO) to complete the remaining works on a priority basis.
The Commissioner made the remarks during a detailed tour of the entire length of the RRR project, where he reviewed its progress and the remaining works.
He directed the FWO to complete the remaining drains, retaining walls and interchange ramps at the earliest, while ensuring strict adherence to prescribed technical and construction standards.
Ghani also directed the concerned authorities to keep the temporary merge with the M-2 Motorway at Thalian Interchange and the ramps towards Lahore fully functional until completion of the interchange.
He ordered effective implementation of the temporary traffic management plan to ensure safe and uninterrupted movement of vehicles and minimise inconvenience to citizens.
The Commissioner also reviewed the future action plan for the Single Network Tolling System on the Ring Road through the FWO.
He said the Ring Road project was vital for improving Rawalpindi’s traffic system, reducing pressure on roads within the city and facilitating inter-district and inter-provincial traffic.
The project would also help promote economic and commercial activities in the region.
Salman said timely completion of development projects was among the top priorities of the Punjab government, adding that negligence or unnecessary delays would not be tolerated.
