Rawalpindi Ring Road Economic Corridor – Complete Details and Analysis

A few days back, RDA has published a comprehensive master plan of Rawalpindi Ring Road. This ring road project is renamed as “Rawalpindi Ring Road Economic Corridor” while the whole project is defined as “Setting New Horizon for Rawalpindi City’s Development”.

The newly published, comprehensive master plan briefly defines the exact route of the upcoming highway. Also, the number of interchanges and marked locations of the residential and commercial projects along this route are explained.

In this latest blog, we are sharing the latest details of Rawalpindi Ring Road Economic Corridor. This blog will feature the brief information of RRR final alignment and interchanges as well as about the economic zones developing along Rawalpindi Ring Road.

Let’s explore them one by one!

 Importance of Rawalpindi Ring Road Development

RRR is a mega-development project awaited so long; however, now it is shaping into a reality. This by-pass holds significant importance due to many reasons, but the three most important are:

The passage of huge traffic, including trucks coming from Northern and Central Punjab using G.T. Road N5, creates serious traffic issues.

Also, there is no road or by-pass in Rawalpindi, which gives direct access to Motorway and New Islamabad Airport. Therefore, all the traffic passes through the entire city and takes Kashmir Highway to reach Airport and Motorway.

As many new housing and commercial projects are developing on Chakri Road and Adyala Road, so there is a need for direct, seamless access to all these newly developing areas.

So, the development of Ring Road Rawalpindi project will divert the unnecessary traffic right at the starting point; thus, it will resolve numbers of traffic issues. Additionally, the development of different new commercial zones along its route will help in the establishment of different new businesses.

After the development of Ring Road Rawalpindi, the expansion of Rawalpindi will speed up, and people will find the newly developing areas more attractive and easily accessible. So, after the official inauguration of Ring Road Rawalpindi, we are also expecting that soon different commercial developments will begin.

Seven Economic Zones

This mega road development will be a 6-lane signal-free highway having a width of 110 meters while the length is 65.5 Kms. Also, to maintain the eco-friendliness of the project, there will be about 15,000 trees planted around the entire route.

It is not just a road network or by-pass project to control the huge traffic flow, but RRR is going to establish a whole new development area where you will find the best residential spaces and attractive commercial developments.

Inauguration Date of Rawalpindi Ring Road

Moreover, it will be a grand public event where the Prime Minister of Pakistan will be invited for the official inauguration of this project.

Investment Potential in Real Estate Projects along with RRR

There are numerous attractive investment options along Rawalpindi Ring Road. These are highly profitable investment opportunities as this road network will pass through the least developed lands of Rawalpindi where mostly are the small villages. Also, most of the land is either being used for farming or lying useless. However, many housing projects have already launched along Rawalpindi Ring Road Economic Corridor’s route where the demand and prices of the property are increasing day by day.

Most of the investors are investing in these developing housing projects while many have started purchasing large chunks of land on the Chakri Road and Adyala Road to earn a huge return. Therefore, investment in these areas is profitable where you can gain maximum returns in the next 3 to 5 years.

The prices of property in the housing societies located along RRR routes are still affordable. Even, if you are an average investor or looking to buy the best plots for sale, you will find these areas highly-attractive. Also, most of these properties are still available on bookings.
