In a major development for intercity travel, the distance between Lahore and Islamabad has been reduced by 100 kilometers due to the inauguration of a newly constructed alternate route. The shorter route is expected to significantly cut travel time and fuel costs for commuters and transporters.
Officials confirmed that the new road network connects key regions more directly, bypassing previously congested or longer segments. This move is part of the government’s broader plan to improve infrastructure and enhance connectivity between major cities.
Transport companies and travelers have welcomed the decision, calling it a game-changer for frequent commuters.
