Road Work: Work begins on Pirwadhai Flyover, Churr Chowk widening
Punjab Chief Minister Mian Shahbaz Sharif on Friday laid the foundation for the construction of the Pirwadhai Flyover at Peshawar Road, which is expected to be completed in five months.
The chief minister also inaugurated a road-widening project for a one kilometre patch on Churr Chowk to ease traffic flow. The project also includes one-kilometre long service lanes on either side.
The Pirwadhai flyover would have three levels, including a flyover, an underpass, and a road at Pirwadhai Mor on Peshawar Road.
It will be the third flyover built in Rawalpindi in the last year, after the Chandni Chowk and Sixth Road flyovers on Benazir Bhutto Road.
The Rs1.4 billion Pirwadhai Flyover will be completed by March 15, while the Punjab government will spend Rs500 million on Churr Chowk.
CM Shahbaz Sharif said the PML-N government if re-elected in next general elections would introduce a rapid transport system in Rawalpindi.

No doubt CM Punjab delivering special attention towards construction work in province to solve the traffic problems..The some projects are completed and some in progress and day night work in progress..I am very happy to see these projects and should feel good as I related to Rawalpindi..But I want to see my country that honesty should be developed in every department.The graph of corruption may some decrease but still too much.So due to that no development look beautiful and everlasting.The govt spent millions on development but people destroy it in days with the negligence of there caring departments.Most responsible police department that not sincere to there jobs secondly local departments ie TMAs, RDA and Land transfer concerns.They enjoy bribery as this is there duty..There illegal activities provide to peoples construct there building without any approved plan and also break the building lines..The big person Patwari is the main culprit for which lower and high courts are busy..Every department showing huge charter of corruptions.Life of people in these circumstances is very difficult..Some good projects may add more beauty to city but unable to change the deadly life of common person..Allah Bless to every one
