Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif mentioned that the Faisalabad-Gojra section of M-4 had been completed with high quality construction work.
PM to inaugurate second section of M-4 on Monday
ISLAMABAD, Nov 15 (APP): Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif will inaugurate the second section of M-4 Faisalabad-Multan Motorway from Gojra to Shorkot on Monday.
This section of M-4 is another milestone in upgrading and decongesting the country’s overburdened transport infrastructure.
Besides, it will boost trade and travel activities while reducing cost and time between the textile producing hub Faisalabad in the Central Punjab to Multan which is a major trade center in the Southern Punjab.
The M-4 will open up new opportunities for the residents of Faisalabad, Jhang, Toba Tek Singh and Shorkot by providing faster access to bigger markets, said a press release.
The M-4 Section-1 (Faisalabad-Gojra) 58-km stretch has already been completed with the assistance of Asian Development Bank (ADP) and open to traffic in March while construction of Section-2 (Gojra-Shorkot 62-kms) road will start now.
The M4 will upgrade the country’s vital north-south road
network for promotion of economic growth, job creation and regional
connectivity.
It will extend the already completed M-1, M-2 and M-3
motorways southwards and shorten the distance between Multan and
twin cities of Islamabad-Rawalpindi in the north.
The M-4 is also a step in making the country a transit artery
for goods moving between the port city of Karachi/Gwadar in the
south to Torkham on the northern border with Afghanistan via the
country’s major business and populated centers.
It will eventually link ports with the land-locked regions of
the Central Asia.
