The Punjab government has also earmarked Rs 200 million for the construction of underpasses at Race Course and Army Graveyard. These projects are expected to help ease traffic movement and reduce long delays for motorists.
Another Rs 93 million has been set aside for the Tulsa Chowk underpass. The total estimated cost of this project is Rs 2.691 billion. In addition, Rs 100 million has been allocated for the COD underpass, which has an estimated cost of Rs 3.75 billion.

Officials said the projects are part of the government’s broader plan to upgrade transport infrastructure across Punjab. The focus is on improving road connectivity, cutting travel time, and supporting smoother traffic movement in growing urban areas.
The latest allocations indicate that the Punjab government is giving priority to signal-free corridors, safer road crossings, and better access for commuters in Rawalpindi and nearby towns.
