Pakistan Weather Update: Dense Fog disrupts traffic in Punjab

Dense fog in the early hours of Wednesday has forced the closure of portions of the Motorway from Lahore to Abdul Hakeem (M3) and from Pindi Bhatian to Gojra (M4) for motorists.

According to the reports, the two motorway sections have been closed as visibility over National Highway was only from 10 to 50 meters.

Commuters have been advised to use the GT Road with fog lights instead, or call the Motorway Police helpline 130 before traveling on the motorway.
