Chief Minister Punjab, Chaudhary Pervaiz Elahi, has directed the government to immediately begin construction on the Nullah Lai Expressway and the Rawalpindi Ring Road.<\/p>\n

The development of the Lai Expressway and Ring Road Rawalpindi, two of the city’s most desired projects, has taken yet another turn.<\/p>\n

The project was previously put on hold by the government due to factors like inadequate funding that were made public.<\/p>\n

The budget for 2022, which was approved in June 2022, included funding for both of these projects, but no steps were taken to revamp these projects.<\/p>\n\n

Another decision made at this meeting was to renovate Rawalpindi’s existing road. In addition, other roads will be built alongside these two megaprojects.<\/p>\n

The goal of developing the Lai Expressway and Ring Road is to provide a convenient alternate route for city residents while also maintaining traffic flow.<\/p>\n
