Abdul Hakeem Motorway (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 05th Sep, 2017 ) has been completed and the project would be completed next year. National Highway Authority Spokesman Kashif Zaman told APP on Tuesday that the 230km long Lahore-Abdul Hakeem (M-3) had been divided into four parts and being constructed by two contractors through a joint venture of M/s China Railway 20 Group and M/s ZKB.
The total cost of the six-lane motorway project is Rs 148.654 billion and its design speed is 120km per hour, he said. He said that eight interchanges, eight bridges over major roads, 35 bridges over canals, and six underpasses and 316 culverts have been constructed.
The project was started in February 2016 and was to be completed in August 2018. But, following the instructions of the prime minister, both companies accelerated the pace of work in a competitive environment and the project would be completed in March 2018, almost five months ahead of the completion date.
He said with the completion of project, travel distance from Lahore to Multan would be reduced to 2.5 hours. Its interchanges would be located near the cities of Nankana Sahib, Samundri, Rajana, Pir Mahal, Darkana, Jaranwala, Mangatanwala, and Saigan. APP/mhn/aa/kmd � 14:54/15:26/15:26
