The Rawalpindi Ring Road inauguration date is expected to be October 28, when Maryam Nawaz is set to open the 38.3-km road at Banth Interchange.

Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz is expected to open the Rawalpindi Ring Road on October 28 at Banth Interchange.

The 38.3-kilometre road is complete along its main route, with four interchanges at Banth, Chak Beli Khan, Adiala and Chakri.

The tolling booth system is expected to be installed before the opening and is handed to the Punjab Ring Road Authority.

The final Thalian interchange will be built later; until then the road joins the motorway at Thalian without one.

The Punjab Development Working Party has approved the project's third revised cost document, valued at Rs50.4 billion.
