Motorists travelling on the M2 Motorway should prepare for a temporary traffic change as the National Highways and Motorway Police have closed Sheikhupura Interchange for repair work.
The closure affects both entry and exit points at the interchange. Authorities have advised drivers to use Hiran Minar Interchange as an alternative until the repair work is completed.
Repair Work Underway on M2 Motorway
According to Syed Imran Ahmed, spokesperson for the Motorway Police’s Central Region, repair work is being carried out on the northbound section of the M2 Motorway.
The work covers kilometres 45 to 48. To allow construction crews to complete the repairs safely, the police have temporarily suspended traffic movement through Sheikhupura Interchange.
The closure means motorists cannot use the interchange to enter or leave the motorway during this period. Drivers who regularly use this route are advised to adjust their journeys and follow the alternative arrangements.
Hiran Minar Interchange Recommended as Alternative
Motorway Police have recommended that travellers use Hiran Minar Interchange instead of Sheikhupura Interchange.
Drivers approaching the area should plan their routes accordingly to avoid unnecessary delays. Motorway Police personnel have been deployed to guide motorists and provide information about the available routes.
The police have also asked road users to follow instructions given by officers on duty. Motorists should avoid attempting to use the closed interchange and should remain alert for traffic diversions.
Motorists Advised to Plan Their Journeys
The temporary closure is part of repair arrangements on the northbound M2 section. Authorities have not provided a confirmed reopening time in the available announcement.
Travellers using the Lahore-Islamabad Motorway should check the latest traffic updates before starting their journeys. Those heading towards Sheikhupura or nearby areas should consider using Hiran Minar Interchange to enter or exit the motorway.
Motorway Police have urged drivers to cooperate with traffic officials until the repair work is completed. Following the recommended route can help reduce congestion and keep traffic moving safely around the affected section.
