Gujranwala Motorway Link Road's Fresh Opening Date

A local media outlet has reported that the under-construction two-lane road connecting Gujranwala to the Lahore-Sialkot Motorway is set to open for traffic on January 20, 2024. Despite an earlier announcement by caretaker CM Mohsin Naqvi, who initially stated that the road would open on December 25, the project is still underway. As of now, only 25 percent of the work remains, and it is expected to be completed by the coming month.

Project Delay Raises Concerns

The delay in finishing the construction has raised concerns regarding the efficiency of the project and its adherence to initial deadlines. Caretaker CM Mohsin Naqvi had previously directed the Frontier Works Organization (FWO) to expedite the work on the project back in October. The prolonged completion timeline has now sparked questions about the overall progress and effectiveness of the construction efforts.

Expressway Cuts Travel Time

Once completed, the 15.2-kilometer expressway linking Gujranwala to the Lahore-Sialkot Motorway is expected to significantly reduce travel time between the two cities. The project, estimated to incur expenses amounting to Rs. 11 billion, is anticipated to enhance connectivity and ease transportation for the residents of Gujranwala.

Traffic Upgrades by Caretaker CM

During his tenure as the caretaker CM, Mohsin Naqvi has played a pivotal role in inaugurating several mega projects aimed at improving traffic infrastructure. Projects such as the Shahdara flyover, Akbar Chowk flyover, Cavalry Underpass, and others have been introduced to enhance the overall transportation network in the region.
