The RDA chairman, speaking about the three massive projects being implemented in Rawalpindi at Ammar Chowk, Kutchery Chowk, and Defence Chowk, said the decision to commence these projects one after the other was made with the traffic load and continuity of traffic flow on these routes in mind.
The cost of the Ammar Chowk project has increased to Rs1.3 billion, while the costs of the Kutchery Chowk and Defence Chowk projects have increased to Rs3.6 billion and Rs2.1 billion, respectively.
He stated that building of a two-story flyover at the Kutchery Chowk project would begin in early 2022, followed by development work on the Defence Chowk project.

The two-story flyover design of the Kutchery Chowk project is unique, he said, adding that the project had undergone some significant changes in light of the growing population and traffic congestion, including the addition of twin underpasses, cable under-grounding, and the addition of a new services line and reinforced earth panel.
