The under-construction Kachehri Chowk flyover and three underpasses are scheduled for completion by April 30, while work on three underpasses along Peshawar Road will start in mid-February and finish by May 30.
Authorities will maintain one-way traffic flow during construction on Peshawar Road. The Communication and Works (C&W) Department has updated the Punjab government on the project’s progress and upcoming milestones.
Once completed, a signal-free corridor from Kachehri Chowk to Motorway Chowk will be operational by June 2026, ensuring smoother traffic flow.
Construction on the Jinnah Park Underpass and Flyover, Kachehri Chowk Underpass and Flyover, and Iftikhar Janjua Road widening and underpass project is underway at a total cost of Rs. 13.33 billion.
Work continues round the clock in three shifts, with completion and opening to traffic expected by April 30. Meanwhile, three underpasses on Peshawar Road—at Qasim Market–Race Course Chowk, Qabristan Chowk, and Chairing Cross Chowk—will be built at a cost of Rs. 8.83 billion.
Utility relocation, including electricity, gas, sewerage lines, and removal of trees, has been underway for the past week, with formal construction set to begin by mid-February. Superintending Engineer C&W Rao Tahir confirmed that Kachehri Chowk work will finish by April 30, after which the junction will reopen fully to traffic.
He added that construction on Peshawar Road will begin from Chairing Cross Chowk, with an underpass for traffic from Saddar, while vehicles heading toward Peshawar will move freely through road widening and remodeling, enabling signal-free movement.

Please plan the construction in such a way that commuters are allowed to also use peshawar road rawalpindi during construction. Because we have already suffered a lot due to construction katchery chowk.
Hope this will fix a lot of issues, specially main issues also include people who are walking on the footpaths this will help them cross roads faster and easier since their are no over head bridges in this area.
Hope they will focus on the sidepaths and footpaths too and make bikes lanes too
While the works being done are appreciated and will ease a lot of problems, I would request the concerned authorities to please consider starting of work to solve the problems of traffic and specially heavy traffic at tarnol railway crossing G T road and tarnol Fateh Jang road. I think this project should have taken precedence and priority on all other projects.
Thank you PMLN. Thank you punjab government. Thank you Maryam Nawaz Sharif. We the residents of pakhtoonkhwah wish to have maryam here for change to make them understand the unfortunate pakhtoons to witness the difference in dreams n reality.
Qasim market and Qabristan chowk are good initiative but they also have to solve the road going toward APS should also be expanded because traffic at school hours Is very bad.
