The Punjab government announced on Tuesday that it would completely eliminate manual toll slips across all toll plazas in the province by introducing a fully digital toll system.
The decision was made during a high-level meeting, chaired by Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, that the initiative will implement a One-App, One-System model similar to the motorway’s e-toll system across 38 electronic toll plazas.
The provincial government also approved public-private partnerships for the construction, repair, and rehabilitation of five major roads.
Under this partnership, private firms will be responsible for maintenance and development work.
Officials noted that Punjab has achieved a record savings of Rs40 billion through e-tendering, showcasing the efficiency of the new system.
The chief minister instructed that solar street lights be installed on all newly constructed roads and approved several advancements and redevelopment projects in Lahore, including the Railway Station, Misri Shah, Data Darbar, Ek Moria and Do Moria bridges.
The meeting reviewed progress on C&W and LDA projects. Officials briefed that 54 large bridges, 142 small bridges, and 858 roads damaged by recent floods have been fully restored.
Additionally, the 93-kilometre Multan-Vehari Road is being developed as Punjab’s first “dust-free” road, to be completed by June 2026, while the Tourism Corridor from Quaid-e-Azam Interchange to Wagah Border will also be completed by June 2026.
