The 43km long road, which will be widened and upgraded, is scheduled to be revamped in under two years, with the project costing Rs1.6 billion. Upon conclusion, the new road would cut down travel time between Bara and Tirah valley from four to two hours.

On the other hand, the construction of the Rescue 1122 building is expected to take 18 months for completion for Rs45 million.
