The project will focus on upgrading the stretch from Lake City to Raiwind, aiming to ease traffic congestion and improve connectivity in one of the city’s rapidly developing corridors.

In addition to the Raiwind Road project, the PDWP approved two other development initiatives: a PKR 863.5 million scheme to combat Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) in Punjab and a PKR 2.238 billion project for constructing a new district jail in Nankana.

These approvals highlight the Punjab government’s ongoing efforts to bolster infrastructure and public services across the province.
