PM performs groundbreaking of Shorkot-Khanewal section of M-4 motorway
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Saturday performed the groundbreaking of Shorkot-Khanewal section of M-4 motorway.
The project will be completed at a cost of about Rs20 billion over a period of two years.
“Reduced distances will boost the economy,” PM Nawaz said as he addressed the inauguration ceremony. Lauding the efforts of all those involved in development projects across the country, the premier claimed, “No one in the world calls Pakistan a failed state anymore.”
After completion, the project will improve Pakistan’s vital north-south road network, promote economic growth, create employment opportunities and ensure regional connectivity.
“We are not working for a particular class, instead we are working for the entire nation. Everyone from labourers to the common man will benefit from these projects,” PM Nawaz said. “The nation is out of the state of despondency and is now treading the path of hope.”
The M-4 Faisalabad-Multan motorway, which is 240 kilometers long, is divided into four sections. Faisalabad-Gojra and Khanewal-Multan sections have already been completed, while work on Gojra-Shorkot section is underway. Work on the fourth section of Shorkot-Khanewal will begin today.
The M-4 is also a step towards positioning Pakistan to act as a transit artery for goods moving between the port city of Karachi and Gwadar in the south, to Torkham on the northern border with Afghanistan. It will eventually link the ports with land-locked regions of Central Asia.

ISLAMABAD: Construction of the 62-kilometer (km) Gojra-Shorkot section of Faisalabad-Multan motorway is in full swing and the project will be completed by November next year.
An official of the National Highway Authority said on Tuesday that as per initial estimates the project was to cost Rs21 billion but due to competitive processes, this project would be completed in just Rs17 billion.
To ensure timely completion, Gojra-Shorkot section has been sub-divided in two construction packages. Its first package comprising 31 km Gojra-Jamani section will cost Rs8.35 billion.
The work on package is being carried out by Xinjiang Beixin China along with consultants Renardet SA Switzerland. The package has one interchange at Toba Tek Singh, three bridges, 51 underpasses and 162 water culverts.
A bumpy journey: Road safety to be ensured, NHA, others assure Sindh High Court
The 31-km Jamani-Shorkot will cost Rs8.83 billion and it is being constructed by China Railways 1st Group and its consultant firm is Renardet SA Switzerland.
Two sections of the M-4 including 58 km Faisalabad-Gojra and 45 km Khanewal- Multan sections were completed and opened to traffic in September.
