Rawalpindi is facing significant delays to its major road rehabilitation projects due to a severe economic and financial crisis. Nine major road improvement schemes have been deferred until December 31, 2027, as funds for development have been drastically cut. These projects, which included upgrading and widening roads, as well as local infrastructure improvements, have been removed from the Annual Development Programme.
The cost overruns for these projects are estimated to be at 100 percent. The Khayaban-i-Sir Syed Road project, involving a 1.6-kilometre road rehabilitation at Rs213 million, and the Bokra Road project, covering a 1.5-kilometre stretch at Rs226 million, are among the affected initiatives. Other deferred projects include the Rawal Road upgrade, the Chandni Chowk to Commercial Market Road, and the Railway Workshop Road.
Additionally, projects aimed at improving healthcare facilities and hospitals have also been placed in the red zone due to budget constraints.
