Rawalpindi:
The long -awaited underground passage GPO Chowk on Mall Road, Rawalpindi, should open its doors on June 30 (tomorrow). Finished in a four -month record, the project of 4.6 billion rupees aims to make traffic of 26 kilometers without signaling and to considerably improve traffic across the city.
Covering 1.93 kilometers, the underground passage was considered essential to alleviate chronic congestion of traffic, especially during VIP movements. The infrastructure includes 2,025 batteries, 50 beams and a fully built bridge, as well as 20 -foot wide service roads and pedestrian trails on both sides.
Described as a advanced initiative, the project represents a major urban upgrade. Once operational, he will provide a trip without signaling from Saddar to Kacheri, improving the efficiency of global traffic.
Although the main construction is completed, finishing keys are underway, including painting and installation of computerized digital advertising tables.

The underground passage will also be monitored by video surveillance surveillance to ensure public security. Rawalpindi’s deputy commissioner, Hasan Waqar Cheema, described the project as a modern urban planning model, stressing that its lighting, landscaping and commercial impact will establish a new standard.
