  "account": "Officials have announced that the opening of the Rawalpindi Ring Road to traffic will be delayed by another month due to ongoing work on toll plazas and weighing stations. The provincial government will determine a new inauguration date once construction of these facilities is complete. The road, which has cost Rs. 50.4 billion, has a design speed of 120 kilometers per hour and includes six lanes, controlled access, five interchanges, and a 90-metre right of way. It features two bridges across the Soan and Sill rivers, 12 other bridges, a railway bridge near Baanth, and 11 overpasses. Construction of weighing stations to measure heavy trucks and calculate toll charges remains incomplete, estimated to take two to three weeks, followed by another two weeks for installing the Intelligent Transportation System and Electronic Toll Collection system. Authorities plan to establish offices for the Punjab Ring Road Authority and build residential accommodation for officials after the Ring Road opens to traffic.",
