The Nawaz Sharif Flyover is designed to streamline traffic between Katcheri Chowk, GT Road, Chakri Interchange, and Rawalpindi Ring Road. It includes a dedicated 2-kilometer service road to further ease congestion. The project will benefit residents of Adiala, Jarar Camp, Gorakhpur, and Khalsa Khurd.
