M-3 motorway (Pakistan)

The M3 is a motorway which links the city of Faisalabad with the M2 motorway. The M3 will eventually become an important link connecting southern Pakistan with the north. It is only 53 km long and is the only motorway which has no junctions in between, however 2 are being planned as of now.

Route

The M3 starts at Pindi Bhattian, a small town located at the junction between the M2 and M3. It then passes Southwest and ends in Chiniot, a small city located outside Faisalabad. The whole stretch of the M3 consists of 4 lanes with no rest areas along the route.

History

The M3 was conceived by deposed Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in his first term but was not inaugurated until 2002, by President Pervez Musharraf. In early 2004, the M3 opened to the public.
