The Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) has announced a major plan to upgrade Murree Road and construct service lanes.
RDA Director General Kinza Murtaza said the Punjab government requested proposals to improve infrastructure in the garrison city.
In response, the RDA submitted two projects focusing on Murree Road, a key route connecting Rawalpindi and Islamabad.
The first project, costing Rs8.1 billion, will add service roads on both sides of Murree Road between Liaquat Bagh and Chandni Chowk.

Once completed, the stretch from Marrir Chowk to Faizabad will become signal-free, improving traffic flow and easing daily commuting.
The second project, costing Rs953 million, focuses on rehabilitating Murree Road from Saddar Flashman’s to Faizabad, ensuring smoother travel and enhanced road safety.
Funds have been requested from the Punjab government, and a survey for land acquisition is underway, with design finalization pending fund release.
