Part of the annual development program, the road will be built in phases over six months, starting from both ends at the same time. To enhance the natural surroundings, the plan includes planting trees along the road, such as fruit trees and native pine trees, along with plants that represent the cultural heritage of the Pothohar region. Additionally, rest areas will be created for travelers, and solar-powered street lighting will be installed to provide energy-efficient illumination.
