RAWALPINDI: The construction work on the Soan River Bridge in Rawalpindi began earlier this week and is projected to be finished by the end of December 2023.
According to a National Highway Authority (NHA) official, the Soan River Bridge will be widened from two to four lanes on each side.
He added that construction work was halted in April of this year. However, Frontier Works Organisation (FWO) has been granted a fresh contract to expand the Soan River Bridge.
It was also shared that leftover construction materials on the bridge and nearby regions are causing problems for travelers.
However, commuters traveling from Rawat to Rawalpindi encounter issues since the bridge’s safety barriers have been dismantled.
The concerned authority is instructed to expedite and complete the work as soon as possible.
