Motorists travelling on the M2 Motorway need to prepare for a temporary route change as repair work disrupts traffic near Sheikhupura. Motorway Police have closed Sheikhupura Interchange to manage traffic while construction crews repair a damaged section of the northbound carriageway.
Syed Imran Ahmed, spokesperson for the Motorway Police’s Central Region, confirmed that repair work covers kilometres 45 to 48. Consequently, authorities have suspended both entry and exit facilities at Sheikhupura Interchange.
The closure will remain in place while crews complete the necessary repairs and traffic diversion arrangements.
Hiran Minar Interchange Recommended as Alternative Route
Motorway Police have advised motorists who normally use Sheikhupura Interchange to choose Hiran Minar Interchange instead.
The alternative route will allow travellers to enter and exit the M2 Motorway while repair work continues. Therefore, drivers should plan their journeys accordingly to avoid inconvenience.
Ahmed urged road users to follow the alternative route until authorities complete the repair work. He also emphasised the importance of following traffic instructions issued by Motorway Police personnel.
Motorway Police Deploy Officers to Guide Traffic
Motorway Police officers are present at the affected location to manage traffic and assist motorists. Their teams are guiding travellers towards alternative routes and providing information about the temporary arrangements.
Moreover, authorities have urged drivers to cooperate with officers and follow their instructions. Motorists should also account for possible delays when planning journeys through the affected section.
Fog Continues to Affect Motorway Travel
Meanwhile, fog is creating additional challenges for motorists across several motorway routes. The National Highways and Motorway Police (NHMP) have advised the public to exercise caution during journeys.
The changing weather conditions may affect visibility and increase travel risks. Therefore, motorists should remain alert, follow official traffic advisories and avoid unnecessary risks while driving.
With repair work underway on the M2 and fog affecting other routes, travellers should check the latest motorway conditions before setting out.
