indicate objectives of the project if Reconstruction of Sariab Road” with total length
different from original PC-1 of 10.6 KM at grade improvement
(3lane+Service/Parking Lane with Junction
Improvement) was approved in PDWP held on
25-08-2017 with cost of Rs. 4.217 Billion. It was
in Federal PSDP and Rs. 1500 Million was

the PSDP of 2018-19 but the work had been
awarded in anticipation. This revised PC-1 is
being submitted covering 7.6km of road from
Irrigation Colony to Custom (3lane+Parking
Lane). The Project Road Length is curtailed from
10.6km to 7.6km considering indecision on first
3km reach. First 3km reach is in congested area
with three major intersection which required huge
land acquisition in case of widening and Junction
Improvements.

In the revised PC-1 there is saving in Bill No 1, 5,

6 and 8 because of reduction in length whereas
