A new project has been initiated to boost tourism in Murree, focusing on the expansion of the main highway connecting Rawalpindi, Murree, and Kashmir.
The project is budgeted at approximately Rs. 1.2 billion and involves the construction of a 17-kilometre road stretching from Rawalpindi to Sunny Bank in Murree.
Tenders for the construction work have been issued via the e-tender platform, with a deadline set for August 17.
As part of the annual development program (ADP), the road construction will be carried out in phases over six months, with work beginning from both ends concurrently.
To enhance the area’s natural environment, the plan includes tree planting along the road. The selection will feature fruit trees and native pine trees, along with fruit-bearing plants representative of the Pothohar region’s culture.
The plan also includes creating rest areas along the road for travelers, with solar-powered street lighting to ensure energy-efficient illumination.
