In a bid to tackle growing traffic issues in the provincial capital, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has included a major underpass construction project along Peshawar’s Ring Road in the upcoming fiscal year’s Annual Development Programme (ADP), with an estimated cost of Rs8 billion.
According to sources, the initiative aims to ensure uninterrupted traffic flow on the Ring Road by constructing underpasses at key locations. The goal is to ease daily commutes and provide convenience to citizens facing routine traffic congestion.
