Preparations are under way for the opening of the Rawalpindi Ring Road (RRR), with Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz slated to officially launch the project on October 28 at the Banth Interchange on GT Road, the route's starting point.

The 38.3-kilometre corridor has been finished along its main alignment, featuring four interchanges at Banth, Chak Beli Khan, Adiala and Chakri. The toll-booth system is expected to be installed before the ceremony.

The tolling system has been handed over to the Punjab Ring Road Authority (PRRA) under the One Network company arrangement, making the authority responsible for its operation and upkeep.
