Situated in the east of Lahore, this bypass will connect with Lahore Ring Road at a distance of 3.3 kilometer from Niazi interchange.

This bypass will start from Mehmood Booti interchange and end at GT Road and Lahore-Islamabad Motorway junction at Kala-Shah Kaku interchange. It will consist of six lanes, each having 3.65 meter width while the outer shoulder will be three meter and inner shoulder will be one meter wide.

The maximum speed limit on this bypass will be 120 kilometer per hour. The completion of the project will help to improve movement of the traffic in the city and linking areas besides promotion of tourism and trade in the region.

While taunting at Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Imran Khan and Chief Awami Musli League Sheikh Rasheed, he said he was not standing on a container neither did he tell lie nor evaded masses. A politician of Rawalpindi, you-very-well-know-who, will not be able to be a part of National Assembly this time, he said.
