The mega project spans around 38.3 kilometers while covering several areas of Rawalpindi and Islamabad and linking them to the motorway and GT road. The project bid was by FWO (Frontier Works Organization) at the cost of Rs. 22.8 billion.
After several changes in the initial plans, developmental controversies regarding corruption and links to the private housing societies, and investigations on a higher level, the project design was cleared by RDA (Rawalpindi Development Authority) and other governmental institutions for bids. Many national and international construction companies bid for the project, but Frontier Works Organization won the project bid for offering the lowest cost.
The project will be a game-changer for the twin cities because of its importance in connecting the national highway (N5) through various areas to motorways (M2).

The completion of this mega project will help a great deal in solving the traffic congestion problems in the twin cities. Moreover, it will help connect various areas of the cities.
