Progress continues on M-13 Kharian to Rawalpindi Motorway project under the effective institutional support of the Special Investment Facilitation Council.
According to details, the M-13 Motorway project is being upgraded to one hundred seventeen point two kilometers six -lane Motorway.
The up graded motorway will be a strategic, fast and safe alternative to the existing M-2 Motorway
According to Defence Minister Khawaja Asif, the SIFC also played a major role in the revival of the stalled M-12 Sialkot-Kharian Motorway project. Similarly, M-11 Lahore-Sialkot Motorway is also being expanded from 4 lanes to 6 lanes with the efforts of the Special Investment Facilitation Council.
Upon completion of the M-11, M-12 and M-13 corridors, fifty to sixty percent traffic between Lahore and Rawalpindi will be shifted from M-2 to the new route.
This corridor will further strengthen connectivity and enhance trade activities between Lahore, Islamabad, Peshawar, Sialkot, Afghanistan, China and Central Asia.
The project also includes construction of three tunnels in Kallar Kahar, which will help reduce the number of accidents.
