ISLAMABAD: The construction work on the 62-kilometre Multan–Lodhran Road dualization project is expected to begin next month, following approval from Federal Minister for Communications Abdul Aleem Khan.
The project, estimated to cost Rs. 4.6 billion, will be funded through the Road Maintenance Account. The approval was granted on the request of Senate Chairman Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani, who had highlighted the long-standing condition of the road and the difficulties being faced by residents, transporters, and daily commuters.
According to the project details, 44.8 kilometres of the existing road will be elevated to bring both carriageways to a uniform level. The dualization work is expected to improve traffic flow, reduce travel time, and enhance road safety across the region.
The Multan–Lodhran Road has remained in poor condition for several years, creating serious inconvenience for commuters and transporters. The completion of this project is expected to provide safer and smoother travel facilities while supporting better connectivity in South Punjab.
Funds for the project have already been released, while machinery is expected to be mobilized on-site in the coming weeks. The project is targeted for completion within one year.
Once completed, the upgraded highway is expected to improve regional transportation, facilitate economic activity, and strengthen infrastructure development in South Punjab.
