This move is expected to reduce traffic congestion and improve the overall flow of traffic in the area.

In 2017, the RDA spent over Rs11 million on a feasibility study to determine whether a flyover or an underpass should be built. However, after the consultant Nespak provided additional suggestions, the former PTI government shelved the project in 2018.

Nonetheless, the RDA has now submitted a new plan to the Punjab government, which includes building an underpass on the Saddar to Faizabad road and a link road for Liaquat Road towards Fawara Chowk.

The RDA director general stated that the underpass would be a major relief for traffic congestion at Liaquat Bagh Chowk and would be included in the new annual development program of the Punjab government.

The project is expected to provide a significant benefit to the people of Rawalpindi by reducing traffic congestion and improving travel time along Murree Road.
