A few days back, RDA has published a comprehensive master plan of Rawalpindi Ring Road.
This ring road project is renamed as “Rawalpindi Ring Road Economic Corridor” while the
whole project is defined as “Setting New Horizon for Rawalpindi City’s Development”.
The newly published, comprehensive master plan briefly defines the exact route of the upcoming
highway. Also, the number of interchanges and marked locations of the residential and
commercial projects along this route are explained.
IMPORTANCE OF RAWALPINDI RING ROAD DEVELOPMENT

 RRR is a mega-development project awaited so long; however, now it is shaping into a
reality This by-pass holds significant importance due to many reasons
 The passage of huge traffic, including trucks coming from Northern and Central Punjab
using G.T. Road N5, creates serious traffic issues.
 Also, there is no road or by-pass in Rawalpindi, which gives direct access to Motorway
and New Islamabad Airport. Therefore, all the traffic passes through the entire city and
takes Kashmir Highway to reach Airport and Motorway.
 As many new housing and commercial projects are developing on Chakri Road and
Adyala Road, so there is a need for direct, seamless access to all these newly developing
areas.
 So, the development of Ring Road Rawalpindi project will divert the unnecessary traffic
right at the starting point; thus, it will resolve numbers of traffic issues. Additionally, the
development of different new commercial zones along its route will help in the
establishment of different new businesses.
 After the development of Ring Road Rawalpindi, the expansion of Rawalpindi will speed
up, and people will find the newly developing areas more attractive and easily accessible.

soon different commercial developments will begin

Rawalpindi Ring Road alignment. Zeeruk International prepares this draft in July 2020
