Officials briefed the chairman that the project has entered its final stages ahead of schedule, with over 95 per cent of development work completed.
They informed him that the structural work has been finalized, while finishing works are progressing at a fast pace.
The briefing further highlighted that landscaping and horticulture work is being carried out around the project to enhance its aesthetic appeal.
In addition, permanent decorative lighting is being installed to further improve the outlook of the underpass.
Expressing satisfaction over the pace and quality of work, Randhawa said that high construction standards had been ensured alongside timely completion.
He directed the concerned departments to expedite all remaining beautification works and complete them before the inauguration.
