ISLAMABAD: The federal government has so far released Rs16.266 billion for Lahore-Multan section (M-3 section) of the Karachi-Lahore Motorway.
The government had allocated a total of Rs40.666 billion for this project under its Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP) 2018-19, according to the latest data issued by the Ministry of Planning, Development and Reforms.
A National Highway Authority (NHA) official said that the physical work of Lahore-Abdul Hakeem section of M-3 had already been completed, however, due to some technical issues, including delay in the approval for deployment of motorway police, the section could not be opened on time.
“Now the section is scheduled to be open for traffic by February 15,” the official added.
For the construction of motorway from Burhan to Hakla on M-1, the government has so far released Rs10 billion out of total allocation of Rs25 billion, whereas Rs1 billion have been released for land acquisition, compensation for affected properties and relocation of utilities for the construction of Burhan/Hakla to DI Khan Motorway.
Overall, the government has released an amount of Rs37.76 billion for 45 new and ongoing projects of NHA out of total allocation of Rs112.997 billion for the fiscal year 2018-19 (FY19).
Very nice
Its not just the technical difficulty, the structural work i.e. Interchange at M2 near Ravi toll plaza is still under construction, despite having been inaugurated in May 2018.

Does this motorway have a intersection for jaranwala?
Yes
M-3 Lahore to Multan motorway would have been under use if last Punjab govt lasted. It was supposed to be operative by 15 May 2018. Things were put on hold when government changed. That’s how it works in our dear land.
Hahahahhahahahaha first its not Punjab govt project its federal govt project. 2nd PM shahid khaqan sb inaugurated it when asphalt work was just started. At that time interchanges was not build office of NHA and residences were not completed. They have just play whith the public. And for your kind information still the junction of M2 and M3 is not completed. Dont be a blind worker of pmln.
So is the situation of metro Islamabad under construction at Kashmir highway. Around 60-70% of construction is done.. which would’ve been complete and operational by now if the govt was same yet. There is high need for attention of concerned authorities to be brought to it.
Motorway should have been opened the day its track was complete. The Motorway Police was made an excuse initially in stalling the 15 Jan opening. I recall when the Lahore – Islamabad section was initially opened it was offered tollfree to use for a month or more, if some things do not fall in place by 15 Feb for the Lahore Multan Motorway it should still be opened as is to facilitate the public
All work done in N leage govt pti do nothing except ,,,time waste ,,now they should work fast to complete the m2,34 task,,,,,and stop taking u turn,,,please

M3 lahore to multan is a 2.5 hrs drive.

It will take 2.5 Hrs from Lahore to Multan (280 km).
