Chief Minister Punjab, Shahbaz Sharif will inaugurate package-8 and package-9 of the Lahore Ring Road project on Wednesday (today). The eco-friendly project is an impressive gateway to Lahore and will provide a signal-free corridor that will streamline the flow of traffic in the city and result in saving time and fuel.
The Ring Road project was necessitated by rapid increase in traffic in the provincial metropolis due to population growth and manifold increase in the vehicles, which put a lot of pressure on the existing road network in the city. A segmental approach has been followed for the completion of the Ring Road project, as it was not possible to undertake construction of the entire road in one go due to site and resource constraints.
The road from Harbanspura Canal Crossing to Airport Access Road has been constructed under the package-8 of the project. It has been completed at a cost of Rs 1524.87 million. It consists of a main carriage- way, service roads, a flyover and a pedestrian bridge.
