RAWALPINDI: Contract for the much-anticipated Rawalpindi Ring Road (R3) project (estimated to cost Rs22.8 billion) was awarded to the Frontier Works Organisation (FWO).
The Leh Nullah Expressway and flood channel projects, on the other hand, piqued the curiosity of a Chinese group visiting the Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA).
Dr Habibul Haq Randhawa, Chief Engineer, RDA, informed that the development authority had granted FWO an Rs22.8 billion contract for the Rawalpindi Ring Road. In the presence of the appropriate officials, the committee opened technical and financial bids, and he said that the FWO had bid Rs300 million less than the expected cost.
