The project carries an estimated cost of Rs 579.52 million, with the opening of bids scheduled for November 11, 2026. According to the revised tender notice issued by the Executive Engineer of Highways Division Rahim Yar Khan and the Superintending Engineer of Highway Circle Bahawalpur, the project is included in Punjab’s Annual Development Programme (ADP) under scheme number 2111. The department issued corrigendum notice IPB-761 to amend the earlier tender notice, IPB-694. The revised advertisement was published in Daily Jang on November 5, 2026, while the procurement details were also made available through Punjab’s electronic procurement system.The proposed development involves reconstructing and widening the existing metalled road between Bhong and Dau Wala, along with improvements intended to enhance the condition and usability of the route. The 18.40-kilometre road is part of the local transport network in Rahim Yar Khan district. Its rehabilitation is expected to improve connectivity between communities along the corridor and facilitate the movement of residents, agricultural produce, commercial goods and other road users. Improved road conditions could also contribute to more efficient transportation and support commercial activity in surrounding areas. However, the extent of these benefits will depend on the final project design, construction quality and successful completion of the proposed works. Under the tender arrangements, the estimated project cost has been set at Rs 579.520 million, while the required bid security amounts to Rs 28.976 million. The deadline for submitting bids was scheduled for 11:30 a.m. on November 11, 2026, with the tender opening set for noon the same day. The corrigendum also stated that all other terms and conditions contained in the original tender advertisement would remain unchanged.
