Lahore Ring Road

June 14, 2020

LAHORE: An agreement for the construction of Lahore Ring Road’s Southern Loop (3) was signed on Saturday, paving way for likely initiation of work on the Rs10 billion project by end of this week.

The agreement was signed between the Lahore Ring Road Authority (LRRA) and National Logistics Cell (NLC).

Since construction of Southern Loop (SL3) will start from Raiwind Road (Adda Plot), it will connect Multan Road at Maraka point. The construction of 8-km SL3 with two interchanges, six lanes dual carriageway and three subways would be completed within one year.

Prime Minister Imran Khan and Chief Minister Usman Buzdar were also present in the agreement-signing ceremony. LRRA Chairman/Commissioner Saif Anjum and NLC Chief Operating Officer Col Shah Jahan signed the agreement.

The SL3 will be constructed under public-private partnership (PPP) and build, operate and transfer (BOT) basis. Total land consisting of 3,098 kanals worth Rs4.586 billion has already been acquired. The project cost would be recovered by the contractors in the form of collecting toll from motorists. Construction cost of SL3 is Rs10 billion within a period of 25 years as approved by [PPP] Policy & Monitoring Board in its first meeting.

The SL3 will not only connect distant areas to city’s main junctions but also 34,000 vehicles per day would travel on it.

I would imagine that if there is a service lane from adda plot to Bahria interchange on both side, it would not only give Bahria direct access to Raiwind Road (without having to get on to ring road) and vice versa. In other words, if a lake city resident has to go to Bahria, instead of taking the road from Mirza Chowk (in front of Beaconhouse National university), you get on the Ring Road Service lane from Adda plot and get into Bahria. If I look at google maps now, it seems like there is a service lane partially built around adda plot in the direction (to and from Bahria - see the red line on the attachment).

Work has begun on western route of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).

Federal Minister for Communication Murad Saeed said at a news conference here that the pace of work on CPEC has increased and new projects are also being launched and the government has approved DI Khan-Zhob road under CPEC's western route, which was the demand of smaller provinces.

The minister informed that tender for Hyderabad and Sukkur Motorways will be held this year. He further said that roads of 1,800 kilometers will be constructed without any burden on national exchequer while areas located on GT Road will also be connected to Motorways.

Murad Saeed said that less money was being spent on roads as compared to previous governments as more roads are being constructed under public-private partnership. Projects in Sindh, South #unjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa were government’s priority, he added.

The federal minister said that 57 projects had been included in this year's Public Sector Development Program (PSDP).
