The Lahore–Sahiwal–Bahawalnagar Motorway is an upcoming motorway undertaking in Punjab, Pakistan. The project received approval from the executive board of the National Highway Authority (NHA) within their yearly maintenance plan for the period 2023–24. This motorway aims to establish a connection between the cities of Lahore, Kasur, Okara, Pakpattan, Sahiwal, and Bahawalnagar.[1] The Executive Committee of the National Economic Council (ECNEC) has approved over Rs.263.79 billion for this project.[2][3]

The inauguration event for the project took place in Kasur, where Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif participated and unveiled a commemorative plaque to signify the milestone.[4] The projected timeline for the completion of the motorway is anticipated to span from 2023 to 2025, with an estimated two-year duration for the construction process.[5][6]
