| LAHORE: Caretaker Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi inspected the progress of the work on Sialkot Motorway, a project crucial for linking Gujranwala with Lahore.
Accompanied by a team, the CM traversed the 15.2km stretch from Benazir Chowk to Wahandu in an ordinary vehicle, examining the earthwork and stone-laying advancements, as well as under-construction bridges along the route. Notably, approximately 90 percent of the earthwork for the 15.2km link road has been accomplished.
This motorway will establish a direct connection between Lahore and Sialkot, extending further to Gujranwala through a two-lane road from the Wahandu Interchange to Benazir Chowk. Mohsin Naqvi expressed contentment at the pace of work and congratulated the FWO project director and the team. He also announced plans for a commercial area development along this vital link road. The chief minister directed the authorities concerned underscoring the need for adherence to the established timeline. Once completed, the journey from Gujranwala to Lahore is anticipated to be shortened to a mere 45 minutes. |
