RAWALPINDI: The divisional administration has instructed the consultant to expedite the third-party validation process for the Rawalpindi Ring Road (R3) project.
The aim is to finalize the route selection by the end of July, enabling the government to commence work on this significant infrastructure project.
Commissioner Liaquat Ali Chattha chaired a meeting to assess the progress of the project, attended by Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) Director General Saif Anwar Jappa, the project’s consultant, and representatives from NESPAK.
According to sources, a joint venture comprising Turkish and Pakistani firms has been entrusted with the task of third-party validation, and their evaluation is expected to conclude by July 30.
The technical and financial bid was won by the joint venture of Asian Consulting Engineers and Botek Bosporus Technical Consulting Company.
As per the details, the Project Management Unit estimated the bid at Rs. 30 million, while the winning company offered the lowest bid of Rs. 25 million.
The original alignment plan from 2020 envisioned a 66.3km Ring Road worth Rs. 64 billion, spanning from Rawat Radio Pakistan to Thalian and continuing to Sangjani.
However, the revised alignment for 2021 entails a controlled access road spanning 38.3km.
It will originate at National Highway (N-5) in Baanth, crossing Chakbeli Road, Adiala Road, and Chakri Road before terminating at the M-2 at Thallian Interchange.
According to an estimate, the total project cost is estimated at Rs. 33.7 billion, with Rs. 27 billion allocated for construction and Rs. 6.7 billion for land acquisition.

Just politics only, no willingness clearly, otherwise tender was allocated to fwo after completing all these processes, which are starting again.
As a overseas Pakistani I must say any govt who builds Ring Road pindi islmbd will sweep all seats of Pindi @islmbd in coming elections
Ring road RWP is the most desired road needed by all the citizens of twin cities which easies the life of millions residing here. Undoubtedly any Govt who proceeds and completes this task will take over all the elections in coming future but no ‘Dhoka’ please with the public.
Last 200 sal se Ring road project ka sun raha hai .
What is the final decission regarding the span of RRR. Will it be 66Km or 32Km.The govt needs to drop the unnecessary span added by the builders to escalate the prices of their societies.It will be an extra burden on the national exchequer being taken out of the poor tax payers just to please few developers and get kick backs.
I daily morning check on net any positive news about this ring road. But unfortunately daily disappointed when find no.progress on this project.
For God sake this time donot delay it otherwise our vote will be for 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Only God knows or zaraat walay k kab banay gaa RRR.
BC bik gayi hai government aur yeh sab mil k hame chutiya bna rhe hain … No future of Ring Road, Nala Lai and Ghazai Barotha water projects.
RRR project should be dealt on priority.
