Ring Road project to start in Jan, says CM

Tuesday, October 21, 2008
By Our Correspondent

LAHORE

PUNJAB Chief Minister Mian Shahbaz Sharif has said that work on the second phase of the Lahore Ring Road project will start in January and will be completed within two years.

Presiding over a meeting regarding the ring road project here on Monday, he said the link roads for connecting the ring road to different areas of the city as well as the underpasses should also be constructed to benefit the maximum number of people. He directed the NESPAK authorities to include the link roads and underpasses in the design of the project, keeping in view the future needs of the city. He said the quality of construction should be ensured in a transparent manner.

“The construction of the ring road will minimise the entry of heavy traffic in the city, which will also reduce the burden on the city roads,” he maintained.He said the project was already delayed, therefore, all the hurdles in the way of its execution should be immediately removed.

The chief minister constituted a special committee, comprising the chief secretary, the Planning and Development chairman and the Communication secretary, to take a prompt action to remove the hurdles in the execution of the project.

He directed the revenue authorities to adopt a transparent procedure for acquiring land for the project, adding that the valuable land near Thokar Niaz Baig had been sold at a price less than the market rate. He ordered formation of a committee to look into the matter and to take action against the officials concerned in this regard. Shahbaz said that before launching the project, modifications must be made in accordance with the needs of the people, adding that he would visit the area to review the proposed route of the project within a few days.

“The Punjab government has started a number of projects worth billions of rupees for improvement of infrastructure and their completion will give an impetus to economic and trade activities,” he said, adding that the Lahore Ring Road would not only benefit the Lahorites but people of the nearby areas as well.

Earlier, AZK Sherdil, the chairman of the administrative committee of the Lahore Ring Road project, gave a detailed briefing about the project. He said lack of coordination among different departments was the cause of delay in the project’s execution. He also apprised the meeting of various matters, including necessary modifications in the design and acquisition of land for the project, and submitted various recommendations for its early completion.

A senior member of the Board of Revenue gave details about acquisition of land for the ring road, mode of payment while the Communication secretary informed about the construction work. The NESPAK director informed the meeting about the design of the project.

PML-N chief Mian Nawaz Sharif, MNA Hamza Shahbaz Sharif, Task Force Chairman Khawaja Ahmad Hasaan, Special Assistant Pervaiz Rashid, the chief secretary, Planning and Development chairman, the Board of Revenue member, the DCO Lahore as well as senior officers of the departments concerned were present on the occasion.

TEPA and NESPAK prepare feasibility reports for Ring Road

* College Road to be linked to Ring Road through Raiwind Road
* Project could not be executed earlier because of lack of funds

By Mansab Dogar

LAHORE: The Traffic Engineering and Planning Agency (TEPA) and the National Engineering Services Pakistan (NESPAK) have prepared several feasibility reports to link various city roads to the proposed Ring Road in the Defence Housing Authority (DHA) Phase-II.

Sources said that NESPAK and TEPA have held meetings during the past few days because Chief Minster Shahbaz Sharif had ordered that city roads to linked to the Ring Road. According to these reports, Maulana Shaukat Ali Road will be linked to the Ring Road through Ferozepur Road and Multan Road. This road will connect to the Ring Road at Package 17 Kamahan village, passing through Ferozepur Road. The road will connect to Multan Road through Wahdat Road near Allama Iqbal Town, Karim Block. A 2-kilometre long, 36-feet wide, dual carriageway would be constructed from Shah Di Khui to Karim Block, passing through the Punjab University (PU).

Link: The sources said that College Road would also be linked to Ring Road through Raiwind Road. Starting from Akbar Chowk, it would run along the drain until it would meet the Southern Bypass. From there, it would run through Khyaban-e-Ameen and Lake City before reaching Raiwind Road.

They said that the bypass, starting from Thokar Niaz Baig, will also be connected to Ferozepur Road. It had already been constructed up to College Road. It will run through Nishtar Colony before connecting to Ferozepur Road. Sources said that College Road would also be linked to Ring Road through Raiwind Road. Shahbaz ordered all departments concerned on October 20 to accelerate the work on the proposals so that work could commence by January. He said that the project would be completed within two years.

Under the revised plan, prepared in June 2007, the Ring Road was to enter the city from Bund Road at Gulshan-i-Ravi, connecting Samanabad, Camp Jail, Ferozepur Road, Kalma Chowk and Harikey Road. About 13 interchanges and flyovers were to be built under the revised plan. The first phase extends over 43 kilometres, from Sagian to Niazi Chowk; to Mehmood Booti; to Daroghay Wala; to Lakhu Dar; to the GT Road; to Harbanspura; to Cantt; to Burki Road; to Airport Road; to Bedian Road; and to Khaira Distributary near Chungi Amarsadhu on Ferozpur Road.

The second phase, stretches from the Ferozepur Road Interchange to Raiwind Road; to the Shahpur Interchange, finally linking Sagian Interchange. According to the original plan, prepared by the Lahore Development Authority (LDA), and TEPA in 2000-01, the 78-kilometre road would have been constructed for Rs 20 billion. The army, LDA and TEPA had recommended its alignment in 2002, which was approved by the Punjab governor subsequently, and Rs 500 million were allotted for its launch.

Lack: The feasibility of the Ring Road was finalised in 1997, during Nawaz Sharif’s tenure as the prime minister (PM), however, the project was not launched because of the lack of funds. After the construction of the Lahore-Islamabad Motorway, bids were invited on a build, operate and transfer (BOT) basis for the construction of the Rs 17 billion project. The project was delayed when a multinational company, which had showed interest in the project, said it would undertake the project if its previous loans for the motorway were paid. Another delaying factor was the unavailability of foreign assistance after Pakistan’s nuclear tests in May 1998. General (r) Pervez Musharraf had directed the Punjab government to start executing the project when he inspected the FC College and the Mall Road underpasses in 2003.

Well, that kind of confirms that the LRR isn't dead yet, at least something is being done about it.

Why do they literally write the words "acquire" and "acquisition" in Urdu? Seems like even journalists don't know the Urdu words for these.

It all started by my post which was
Yeah i had also heard that CM SHAHBAZ SHARIF had given orders to complete the ring road section near airport

Then

this project is in the limbo, i dnt know where rana gets his news but maybe he read it wrong, cos it probably said shabaz orders project to canel. i went pass this project 2 times this month and not a single worker was seen working anywhere on the road and half constructed project was just left laying there.

thanks for the pics but whenever i go there i saw many workers working there like u can see the pic above on this page which is posted by redarrow.In that pic we call those men as workers :lol:

many workers? :nuts: where are these many workers hiding, and if there are so many workers why isnt project moving anywhere.

i have been past it few times in last 3 months but have not seen any work being done,

sir if u pass by the site u had to open your eyes

next time plz try to kept your eyes open when u pass by the site ya there will be no workers working there if it had been raining for many days

the above section was suppose to be completed in 3 months time by elahi, it was suppose to be finished by end of 2006 and what happened its more then 2 years he couldnt complete it. so chill guys it will be done

Yeah but I know that on the second day when shahbaz take oath of CM.he visited the airport section of lahore ring road at 12 midnight and order to start the work then they again started the project and they had also change it to i had read all this in newspapers and news channel too.

If u visit the place u will see they are working on several places

February 5th, 2009, 02:04 AM

I could not find such consolidated information on LRR anywhere else on web. I highly appreciate your efforts for bringing so much here. Thank you PakiDopperz (y) . Based on how you have gathered this information, i assume you have good experience of Google earth. I wonder if you know how is it possible to request google for bringing more recent maps of our wonderful city Lahore.
When this project has resumed with a push from CM, why not approach Govt. of Punjab to post the updates and latest maps of LRR on the official website. Well LRR does not have any official website but atleast it could be placed in the some subsection on punjab govt. website. I found a map of LRR, a scanned copy in which text label were hardly readable, so it was of not of much use.

By the way i was trying to locate southern bypass, which road is it specifically? As it says in the following statement of posted news item:

"The sources said that College Road would also be linked to Ring Road through Raiwind Road. Starting from Akbar Chowk, it would run along the drain until it would meet the Southern Bypass. From there, it would run through Khyaban-e-Ameen and Lake City before reaching Raiwind Road."

These laborious tasks in tough weather conditions, i salute all the workers working on projects, with not the very advanced machinery at their disposal. Probably they are just earning enough wages to meet the bare minimum necessaties of their families.

Long live Pakistan

rise_to_distinction

February 11th, 2009, 11:35 PM

To J Sultan's question,
Looking at google maps, i assume there are few ways of reaching these places,
1. You follow the GT road after shalamar bagh and pass by the turn of Darogha wala going straight until you should reach the construction site of the interchange. I hope you should get to see some construction works etc at some point on GT Road.
2. You follow the road along canal towards Jallo Natural Park, at some point you should see construction.
3. The Zarar shaheed runs near by lahore international airport as you can see in googlemaps here http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=31.533969,74.414766&z=14&t=h&hl=en. So hopefully you should see some construction site somewhere along this road.
In all three of above, ring road should cut through these roads at an angle so there should be need of interchanges.
Hope to see some pictures soon, if possible for you, please also take some from the southern bypass and thokkar interchange.

Our country is one of the most populous countries in world with a HUGE vaccuum of infrastructure development from villeges, towns to big cities. What we really miss is due dilligence & honesty at every level.

February 15th, 2009, 02:45 PM

k guys i visited the lahore ring road section today from chowk yateem khana interchage,

the ring road is almost complete from bund road to GT road, Shahbaz sharif has got NLC to start work on sagian interchange, Mahmood Booti interchange, Canal Interchange, GT road Interchange simeltaniously.

I was amazed by the speed at which NLC is working on Saggian Interchange, 2 weeks agon the ground was atleast three basment deep, they have already filled it up and working on good speed.

Mahmood Booti Interchange is also progressing at good speed.

GT Road interchange.. i say some machinery working today should eb able to see construction work clearly in 2-3 weeks time, they are busy demolishing the building and gettign right of way.

Canal Road interchange.. they have started pilling work on the canal and have placed the sign board for the construction and are demloishing buliding and getting right of way.. same thing should be able to see real construction goign on in 2-3 weeks

Apart from interchanges the ring road portion under construction are GT road to Canal.. Jst started work clearing way.

Canal to Zarar Shaheed road (Barki Road) section is in full swing.. went to the mahfoozpura cantt.. the work is going with good speed.

Barki road to Airport section is almost 80% complete saw them preparing for carpeting 3-4 days ago before rains. so should be able top see them start carpeting in a week or 2.

then the last part which is undercounstruction is from phase 5 dha to suigas society.. work is really slow as they are still busy in getting the site clear as lots of villages houses coem in between.

i think thats enough

RANA AAA

February 15th, 2009, 03:15 PM

Guys, if you look at this picture, http://www.lahorerealestate.com/Lahore%20Housing%20Schemes%20Location%20Map.html

According to this, the souther section named "Alternative-D" starts from Sui Gas, going through DHA 9 & 10, Ferozepur road and raiwind road, Lake City, Bahria Town. This picture says that it was approaved May 31, 2008. I want to know what is the authenticity of this ? Does any of you have any idea of official news about this?

rise_to_distinction

February 15th, 2009, 04:02 PM

actually mein ek colony mein plotting karnay kay plans kar raha hoon, so not just one plot, there will be many :P

I wish, others take my question more positively. The question really is, if it has to be a Ring road then how are the two ends being connected on the southern side, Some weeks ago i heard that Ferozepur road will be expanded on both sides and will be enhanced as an expressway to connect the two ends thus completing the ring. But this picture tells a different story. So which one is the official and approved?

actually there is defence road there which start from defenceand end up near to bahria town (not sure abt that) first they are going to widened that road and after that ring road will be built with it.

Actually, I also have many questions about this whole south section which according to this picture starts from Sui Gas and goes all the way till Thokar thus giving a southern ring. But first question is whether it will be implemented as mentioned in this pic. Rana ji posted a reply to my question mentioning that first it will be widening of defence road that goes along the drain and afterwards there will be a ring construction around this. But still i am looking for official sources for authenticity

i think ring road takes at least 2 years to complete.

rise_to_distinction

February 16th, 2009, 01:46 PM

Yes, it really depends upon when the southern sections' construction get started. The time may vary depending upon whether they start construction as an elevated road or enhancement of existing defence road that runs along the the drain.

yar but i don't think so that the elevated expressway are included or even dependent to the ring road because the Chinese gonna built that 17 km expressway right?
so is it really gonna built first and what about the LRMT which also agreed upon with the Chinese company to built by our CM to built?

I was not talking about the elevated expressway. It was about the section of ring that starts from Sui Gas & connects all the way to Thokkar (cutting through raiwind road). As Rana AAA mentioned this is going to be the defence road in beginning and later a ring road continuation will be laid down alongwith it. Even defence road will require a lot of work to take a shape that can serve as ring continuation. Take a look at this map http://www.lahorerealestate.com/Lahore%20Housing%20Schemes%20Location%20Map.html that i posted earlier.

I have no update on express way or LRMT, so do not want to confuse you :)

this interchange is different from niazi chowk interchange. because it includes underpass and subways which are link with two link roads on both sides so that that local traffic could not come through the long way to return and move to other link road. i can elaborate a bit by editing this pic

i meet the contractor main habib ullah today. His own newly enters construction company named "Habib construction comapny" which got the contract of sagian interchange phase 4 and other phases of ring road like phase 9 harbanspura and phase 10. He told me that the work is going on full swing and inshallah they can meet their target by completing this interchange in the next 4 months. i also meet the Amir Rasheed sub contractor who are present on the site currently show some maps and feasibility reports and next plans on bund road.
like they built a flyover to by sect the sanda interchange and also built babu sabu interchange to bisect the traffic to ring road onto the motorway linked with thokar.

Do you really thing that a country with $10bn revenue can sustain $80bn stock market artificially?? and poverty level was 35% in 1999 and in 2007 it ws near 22% it is a big difference, and during his tenure u know how much our defecnce industry grew!! Only talk about tall buildings, tell me how many projects we got in tenure of nawaz sharif and how many projects in tenure of musharraf?? Currently pakistan is getting more aid, musharraf was not geting that aid!! And you are supporting only that person who only know how to destablize country!!

PM me if want to discuss more!! And back to link road progress!!

you know right now the projects which are started in the Musharaff tenure out of which 1500 high rise buildings have no plan and proper structure. this statement was given by previos retired judge of sindh high court.
any whys it is a very big long debate i dont want to go in that.
you won my dear. ok happy.
