Younis highlighted the following progress made on the IJP Road reconstruction:
- Asphalt pavement, brick, and concrete (ABC) are 70% complete
- Rigid Pavement is 90% completed
- Mandi Mor Bridge — all structure work completed except expansion joints & NJB
- Nullah Lai Bridge – all structure work completed except expansion joints
While Mengal did not share any particulars regarding the progress on IJP Road he said that the project will be complete in less than a month.
Hahaha what a joke
Number of U-turns on main IJP road are very limited and the connections to the service roads also require serious attention.
It would be the biggest favor for the citizens of Isb/Rwp that the Govt initiates and completes the Ring road to solve the traffic problems of the twin cities. Till than roads would be made to be broken.
