A. BACKGROUND
1. The Rawalpindi - Kahuta road section has been taken up for dualization on the
Directives of the Prime Minister Pakistan.The Rawalpindi - Kahuta road is presently a two
lane road which starts from G.T road (N-5) interchange near Sowan and passesthrough
Kahuta city traversing further towards Azad Jammu & Kashmir (Rawalakot, Palandri and
Kotli). The Rawalpindi - Kahuta road is the shortest route for the traffic coming from
Rawalakot, Kotli to Islamabad/ Rawalpindi and vice versa. The Punjab Highway Department
(Communication & Works) administratively controls and maintains the Rawalpindi - Kahuta
road. The existing Rawalpindi - Kahuta road traversesthrough various populated towns i.e.
Humak, Sihala, Miana Thub, Are Syedan, Nathot and Kahuta city. In Sihala, the rnajor
constrainton the subject road section is a railway crossing, where traffic remains choked and
jammed for hours and local population faces immense difficulty. Besidesthat" this route also
bears heavy traffic due to oil cargo vehicles from G.T road (N-5) Humak road junction to
Sihala. There is another impediment near Kahuta, where steep slope and poor geometry is
encountered, which is problematic for heavy loaded vehicles. To dec,reasesubstantial
transportation cost particularly for heavy traffrc, transport agricultural products well in time
at their destination, provide relief to troubled population of Sihala and others in the vicinity
due to railway crossing and poor road condition, dualization of this road is utmost necessity.
