Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan will perform the groundbreaking of upgradation and rehabilitation of 62 kilometres long Lodhran-Multan Highway in Islamabad today.
Lodhran-Multan highway project is an important section of Karachi-Lahore-Peshawar national highway (N-5). National Highway Authority will complete the project at a cost of Rs 6.886 billion in two years time.
The project is an important milestone in the field of communication and usher in a new era of development in South Punjab. This will ensure smooth flow of traffic between Lodhran and Multan and promote economic activities as well as create job opportunities.
Geographically this project is also of immense importance as this highway is located almost in the center of the country and provides access to Balochistan.
