Lahore: In a major boost to Punjab’s road infrastructure, the Provincial Development Working Party (PDWP) has approved nine major development schemes with a collective estimated cost of Rs13.675 billion.
The approval was granted during the 81st PDWP meeting for the fiscal year 2024–25, chaired by Planning & Development Board Chairman Barrister Nabeel Ahmad Awan. Senior officials, including Secretary P&D Dr. Asif Tufail and Chief Economist Masood Anwar, also attended the high-level session.
All nine schemes fall under the roads sector and are designed to enhance connectivity, reduce travel time, and support regional economic growth. These initiatives will span various districts and target both rehabilitation and dualization of critical routes.
These infrastructure upgrades mark a significant step in the Punjab government’s continued efforts to modernize transportation networks and facilitate regional mobility. Construction activities are expected to commence in the coming months, providing long-term benefits for commuters, logistics, and economic activity.
