The Frontier Works Organization (FWO) has started the execution of the Ring Road Rawalpindi project under the supervision of the Rawalpindi Development Authority.

He said RDA has awarded Rs. 22.8 billion contract to the FWO for a mega project of Rawalpindi Ring Road. He requested the FWO to speed up the work on this project.

The Chief Engineer said the design speed will be 120 kph, six lines have been divided carriageway as three-lane either way and five interchanges will be developed at national highway (N-5) at Baanth and crossing through Chakbeli Road, Adiala Road, Chakri Road and terminating at the motorway (M-2) at Thalian Interchange.
The Ring Road Rawalpindi would cater to the traffic issues by providing an alternative bypass by connecting N-5 with M-2, he added.
No name plates please. Just say a project of govt of Punjab.Start and completion dates and project cost . It’s public money and not from pocket of the person of P M or CM etc .
Work of Hyderabad Karachi motorway by FWO was poor quality
True brief of the project even better than my presentation,as it did not contain such adds.
