TOBA TEK SINGH: The National Highway Authority (NHA) has decided to open for traffic a portion of the motorway project (M-4) between Faisalabad and Gojra from December.

An NHA official said on Saturday the Faisalabad-Multan Motorway (M-4) was financed by The Asian Development Bank.

He said its interchanges from Faisalabad to Gojra were Narwala (Faisalabad) and Chiragh Abad and Gojra-Jhang Road (Gojra).

Its first 58-kilometre section is between Kamalpur and Gojra and it is 330 feet wide with two lanes on each side.

He said the motorists using this section were violating the rules.

He said the primary work was under way on the second portion of the road which will be constructed between Gojra and Shorkot.
