Feasibility Study & Detailed Design for Rawalpindi Ring Road Project
1 Introduction
Foreseeing the fast growth of traffic on the Rawalpindi’s urban roads, and upcoming
of unplanned residential colonies in the suburbs of the city and congestion on the
transportation system, it was 1997 that Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA)
conceived a plan to provide a ring road to bypass the twin cities of Rawalpindi and
Islamabad. The objective was to ease congestion on the city’s road network and
afford a fast route to the heavily loaded multi axle freight traffic destined to Peshawar
and Afghanistan in the West and Northern areas (Gilgit and Baltistan) and People’s
Republic of China in the North.

2 Background
The age-old Grand Trunk (GT) Road re-designated as National Highway N-5 is a
North – South arterial link (Peshawar – Karachi) which carries 65% of freight traffic.
En-route it passes through heart of Rawalpindi city (Refer to picture below). The twin
cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad share their urban transportation system; the
heavily load multi-axle slow moving trucks use Islamabad Expressway and IJP road
for access to destinations in the West to Afghanistan and to China in the North, and
to the port cities of Karachi and Gawadar in the South. Presence of the heavy loaded
trucks on the twin cities road network has resulted in severe congestion, delays,
extra fuel consumptions for all types of vehicles and damages to the urban roads
requiring heavy budgets for upkeep/ reconstruction by the civic bodies of the twin
cities.
With increase in the population, the interior of Rawalpindi city stands degraded to
slum. The present unplanned growth of housing colonies all around has perplexed
the Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA)and municipality for provision of
utilities. A need for opening up new areas for development of new housing estates,
industrial parks, health and educational facilities and recreational spots was being
felt for the long time. The Rawalpindi Ring Road conceived by RDA is a step towards
fulfillment of the above said objectives.
It is visualized that RRR will contribute in easing congestion on the twin cities
transportation system on the one hand and prompt decongestion of Rawalpindi city’s
business activities and emergence of new housing estates, and also contribute in
creating new job opportunities for all classes of the society.
The RRR project’s Steering Committee of the Government of the Punjab Province in
its First meeting held on November 19, 2019 dropped, Rawat Link Road (12.40 Kms)
and Rehabilitation of Fateh-Jang Road (7.10 Kms) from the scope of work. A
decision was also given to extend the RRR from M 2 and link it with CDA’s under
construction Margalla Avenue at N 5 near Sangjani. Consequent to later discussions
and decisions at the highest level, the updated scope of RRR project is as under:

4 Topographic Survey
The scope of the topographic work has been well defined in the Terms of Reference
(ToR) of the RRR project’s Contract Agreement. The same have taken as guide and
survey has been conducted to fulfill all the requirements under the said ToR.
True depictions of the features as these are on the ground and recording with
relation to control points established earlier is the topographic survey. For a road
project like Rawalpindi Ring Road, survey lays down ‘foundation’ for design of all the
components like geometrics, bridges and drainage structures. Topographic survey
for RRR has been carried over 110.00 meters wide strip as its right of way except
interchange locations where the entire interchange area comprised of turning loops,
slip roads, acceleration and deceleration lanes location is covered.
The existing ground data was acquired using GPS/ GNSS in RTK mode and Total
Station. All linear features were captured in line form, buildings in ST Zone and area
features in close ply line/ polygon format. The isolated non-dimensional features
were captured in point format. The captured data was processed with 3-D geometry
(x,y,z).

The teams were mobilized on December 09, 2019 and they completed their field
work on December 30, 2019 on 36. 70 kilometers length from Zero Point to
Motorway M 2 in the first phase. On confirmation of the decision of the RRR from
Motorway M-2 to National Highway N-5, the survey teams were again sent to the
field for topographic survey of 8.774 Kilometers stretch from M-2 to Hakla
Interchange on the DI Khan – Hakla Motorway.

Start point of RRR alignment is the close proximity of Radio Pakistan Transmitters.
En-route it crosses the National Highway N-5, the ChakBeli Road, the Adiala Road,
the Chakri Road, Motorway M 2 and ends DI Khan – Hakla Motorway. All agencies
have laid their lines along the said roads to provide services to the local population in
the villages. Overhead lines wherever spotted during topographic survey stand
‘Captured’ and reflected in the drawings. Concerted efforts were made with the
cooperation of the Project Management Unit to liaise with the SNGPL and PTCL to
locate the buried service lines. Consultants collected information through joint visits
and have been inserted in the drawings.
Identification and reflection of exact location of the respective utility services lines in
the drawings is important to necessitate either re-location prior to commencement of
work at the site or provision of protective arrangement(s) to avoid damage during
construction of the road. Utmost care has been exercised in locating both overhead
and buried utility service line, and also reflected in the drawings. Information about
location of the respective utility services lines is included in this report.
