Final Verdict

The temporary closure of the M-5 Motorway is expected to create noticeable delays for travelers and freight operators using one of Pakistan's busiest transport corridors. While the maintenance work is necessary for infrastructure safety, motorists should plan ahead, use designated diversion routes, and allow additional travel time.
