Multan: Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has approved the development of the Multan Avenue project under the provincial government’s “Prosperous Punjab, Restored Roads” initiative, marking a major step toward modernizing the city’s infrastructure.
The nine-kilometer-long Multan Avenue will be constructed from Sydanwala Chowk to Sahoo Chowk, promising smoother traffic flow, enhanced commercial activity, and improved urban aesthetics.
The foundation stone for the project was laid by Commissioner Multan Division Aamir Karim Khan, who described Multan Avenue as the city’s first modern infrastructure venture aimed at combining civic convenience with sustainable economic growth.
According to Commissioner Khan, the project carries an estimated cost of Rs2.89 billion and is scheduled for completion by June 30, 2026. However, the Highway Department has been directed to accelerate progress and complete the project by March 23, 2026, to minimize inconvenience to residents.
