Overview
- Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz inaugurated Ma’arka-e-Haq Square in Rawalpindi after crews finished the junction upgrade in 179 days, beating a 190‑day target.
- The completed phase at Kutchery Chowk adds five underpasses, two overhead bridges and a pedestrian bridge to clear bottlenecks through the city center.
- Construction is underway on three more underpasses on Peshawar Road at Qasim Market, Qabristan and Charing Cross to create a non‑stop link to Motorway Chowk.
- Project briefings outline a 25‑kilometre signal‑free route from Rawat to the motorway with nine underpasses and three flyovers, with two phases done and a third in progress.
- Officials say the corridor could carry more than 200,000 vehicles each day and shorten trips to Islamabad, the airport and major motorways, with further sites proposed at Race Course, Chairing Cross, AFIC Chowk and Ninth Avenue.
