In a bid to facilitate the commuters, the Government of Pakistan has opened Abdul Hakeem-Lahore Motorway (M3) today, i.e. 15-1-2019.

According to the details, the total length of the motorway is 230 kilometres and the total cost of the project was Rs.148 million. This 6-lane highway will cut down your commute time by two hours from Abdul Hakeem to Lahore.

This project was started back in 2015 and was officially inaugurated by the then Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi in 2018. The motorway has 8 interchanges, 35 bridges and 16 underpasses. According to a security analyst, this particular project is very important keeping in view the objectives of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).

Moreover, an official of National Highway Authority (NHA) while speaking to the local media said that with the completion of over 70 percent of the total work, Sukkur-Multan Motorway (M5) would get operational by August 2019. This 392 km long project started back in August 2016. When completed, this project will be a huge step towards developing a stronger Pakistani economy keeping in line with CPEC goals.

Previous govt was fool enough that they started and then inaugurated a motorway but didn't find it necessary to hire new crew of motorway police which is the main thing, and then you expect that this govt should do everything with the blink of an eye.
They cant open it section wise they have started hiring of police and toll plaza crew etc.

Rs16.26bn released for Lahore-Multan Motorway

The federal government has so far released Rs16.266 billion for Lahore-Multan section (M-3 section) of the Karachi-Lahore Motorway.

The government had allocated a total of Rs40.666 billion for this project under its Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP) 2018-19, according to the latest data issued by the Ministry of Planning, Development and Reforms.

A National Highway Authority (NHA) official said that the physical work of Lahore-Abdul Hakeem section of M-3 had already been completed, however, due to some technical issues, including delay in the approval for deployment of motorway police, the section could not be opened on time.

“Now the section is scheduled to be open for traffic by February 15,” the official added.

For the construction of motorway from Burhan to Hakla on M-1, the government has so far released Rs10 billion out of total allocation of Rs 25 billion, whereas Rs1 billion have been released for land acquisition, compensation for affected properties and relocation of utilities for the construction of Burhan/Hakla to DI Khan Motorway.
