Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has directed relevant authorities to review three proposed road infrastructure projects in Lahore for possible inclusion in the Annual Development Programme (ADP) 2026-27.
The proposed schemes are aimed at improving road connectivity, traffic movement, and supporting civic infrastructure in different parts of the city. However, the projects are currently under review and have not yet been approved for execution.
The first proposal involves the construction and widening of Kitar Band Road, connecting Multan Road with Ghausia Road. The planned improvement is expected to enhance connectivity for commuters travelling through the surrounding areas and improve movement along the route.
The second proposed scheme focuses on the widening and covering of Kharak Nala, extending from Multan Road to the Motorway. The proposal also includes an access road and a planned Motorway interchange as part of the broader infrastructure improvement plan.
The third project under consideration involves the construction of service roads on both sides of the Motorway, covering the stretch from Jinnah Terminal to Babu Sabu. If approved, the proposed service roads could add to the city’s road network and improve access along this corridor.
The three schemes are being examined as part of the province’s wider infrastructure planning for Lahore. Improved road connections could help facilitate traffic movement and enhance accessibility between residential, commercial, and major transport areas.
The Chief Minister’s Office has directed the concerned departments to conduct the required review and prepare a summary for further consideration. The final decision regarding their inclusion in the ADP 2026-27 will depend on the outcome of the review and subsequent approvals.
For Lahore’s residents, commuters, property buyers, and investors, proposed infrastructure projects can provide useful insight into potential changes in accessibility and connectivity. However, the three schemes should currently be considered proposals under review, rather than confirmed development projects.
