In a major step toward easing traffic congestion, Rawalpindi is getting multiple new flyovers and underpasses as part of the city’s latest urban development plan. The initiative aims to improve road connectivity, reduce travel time, and make commuting smoother for thousands of residents.
According to officials from the Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA), Rawalpindi is getting multiple new flyovers and underpasses at key intersections known for frequent traffic jams. Projects are being planned for areas including Mareer Chowk, Ammar Chowk, and Sixth Road, which are among the city’s busiest routes.
The new infrastructure will not only help reduce congestion but also improve safety for pedestrians and motorists. Authorities have said that modern designs and durable materials will be used to ensure the longevity of the projects. The construction will be carried out in phases to minimize disruption to daily traffic flow.
The Punjab government has allocated significant funds for the initiative, seeing it as a step toward transforming Rawalpindi into a modern and efficient city. Officials stated that once completed, the flyovers and underpasses will provide alternative routes, easing pressure on the main roads.
Residents have welcomed the announcement, expressing hope that the new projects will finally bring relief from long-standing traffic issues. Many commuters face daily delays due to congestion, especially during peak hours.
An RDA spokesperson added that proper drainage and lighting systems will also be included to enhance safety and prevent flooding during the monsoon season. Environmental experts have advised the inclusion of green belts and noise barriers to ensure the projects remain sustainable and community-friendly.
The news that Rawalpindi is getting multiple new flyovers and underpasses has sparked optimism among locals who believe the development will boost economic activity and property value in the area. Work on some of the sites is expected to begin soon after final approvals and tender processes are completed.
