According to media reports, National Highway and Motorway Police have installed the world’s best and latest intelligence Transport System on Multan-Sukkur M-5 Motorway.
The police have issued a warning to the commuters after installing this system. This new system’s cameras will take a picture of over speeding or any violation of traffic, automatically.
Multan-Sukkur Motorway:
It is pertinent to mention that Multan-Sukkur Motorway is the longest national highway of Pakistan and a vital part of China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). The 292-kilometre-long road was constructed at the cost of Rs2.89 billion. The road connects Multan, Shujabad, Bahawalpur, Uch Sharif, Rahim Yar Khan, Sadiqabad, Ghotki, Panu Aqil and Sukkur.
Furthermore, this motorway reduces the travel by 75 kilometres as compared to National Highway. Moreover, the travel time has been reduced from 6 hours to 3.30 hours. The government inaugurated the road in September 2019.
Meanwhile, preparations for the construction of its next phase, from Sukkur to Hyderabad, are underway.
