Faisalabad Mass Transit Project Gets March 2027 Deadline

Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has directed officials to complete the Faisalabad and Gujranwala Yellow Line Mass Transit projects by March 2027, aiming to improve public transportation and ease traffic problems in both cities.

She issued the directions while chairing a special meeting in Lahore to review the progress of the two major transport projects. Officials were instructed to work in three shifts to help meet the deadline. The chief minister also reviewed construction progress through drone footage.

Gujranwala Yellow Line Project

Officials briefed the meeting that the 31.5-kilometer Gujranwala Yellow Line will feature 25 stations, including two underground stations. The project will also include 12 underpasses, a 35-kilometer service road and signal-free U-turns.

Around one-third of the project has been completed so far. Authorities have installed 1,233 poles and 552 transformers, while work on a 62-kilometer drainage system is around 40 percent complete.

The project will also involve the installation of approximately 15,000 feet of sewerage lines, 12,000 feet of water supply lines and 11,000 feet of gas pipelines.

Faisalabad Mass Transit System

Progress on the Faisalabad Mass Transit System was also reviewed during the meeting. Officials said 1,835 trees have been replanted, while 15 kilometers of gas pipelines have been laid. Construction of 12 bus stops has also been completed.

The Faisalabad and Gujranwala projects are expected to provide improved public transport facilities and help make daily travel easier for residents.

Maryam Nawaz said the government understands the difficulties faced by ordinary citizens and directed departments to complete the projects within the announced deadline.

With work continuing at multiple sites, both mass transit projects are now targeted for completion by March 2027.
