Gujranwala: In a landmark development for commuters in Punjab, the Gujranwala Motorway link road has officially opened its lanes to traffic, heralding a new era of connectivity and convenience for travelers. The announcement was made by the caretaker Chief Minister of Punjab, Mohsin Naqvi, who took to Twitter to share the exciting news on February 5th, 2024.

The newly inaugurated Gujranwala Expressway, spanning an impressive 15.2 kilometers, seamlessly connects the M5 with Benazir Chowk, effectively reducing the travel time between Lahore and Gujranwala to a mere 45 minutes.
