Rawalpindi Targets November 2026 for Two Peshawar Road Underpasses

Rawalpindi's two underpasses on Peshawar Road are now targeted for completion by November 2026. Construction is around 60% complete.

In this article we set out the two sites, the cost, and the disruption already reported. Here is everything you need to know.

Where the Peshawar Road underpasses stand

The projects are at Race Course Chowk and Charing Cross. Together they are put at Rs 8 billion, and they are meant to improve traffic flow. Construction has also disrupted nearby schools and electric bus services.

November 2026 is a target, not a date this account says has been guaranteed. Around 60% complete is the progress given.

Why it matters

A road project at 60% is far enough along to be a daily obstacle, which is what the disruption to schools and electric buses describes, and not far enough along to be open. November 2026 remains a target.

• The road is Peshawar Road in Rawalpindi
• There are two underpasses
• The sites are Race Course Chowk and Charing Cross
• The cost is Rs 8 billion
• Progress is around 60%
• The target is November 2026
• Schools and electric bus services nearby have been disrupted

What is not promised

1. An opening day inside November.
2. A split of the Rs 8 billion between the two sites.
3. How long the school and bus disruption will last.
4. The name of the contractor.

What happens next

A notice that the works have passed 60%, or a confirmed opening date, would replace the target. We will update this article if either is published.

Our verdict

The two Peshawar Road underpasses, at Race Course Chowk and Charing Cross, are targeted for November 2026 and are around 60% complete. The Rs 8 billion projects are meant to ease traffic, and construction has disrupted nearby schools and electric bus services.
