As per the directives of Chief Minister Punjab, Maryam Nawaz, one carriageway will be fully operational for traffic by the end of September, while the second carriageway is expected to be completed by the end of October. Following the successful relocation of the ADA drain, CBD Punjab has begun demolishing the old drain walls, and side road construction is also underway.
