NHA flood road repairs
National Highway Authority (NHA) Chairman Shehryar Sultan ordered accelerated repairs of flood-damaged roads on August 29, 2025, following inspections of affected areas in Punjab, including Eastern Bypass Lahore Ravi Bridge and Chand Bridge Jhang.
The directive aims to restore connectivity by mid-September.
Sultan told NEN,
“We’re mobilizing all resources for swift restoration.” Over 150 kilometers of highways, including sections of N-5, require urgent rehabilitation due to recent floods, with 200 engineers deployed .
Coordination with PDMA has cleared 15 critical blockages since August 27.
The NHA allocated Rs. 800 million for repairs, with machinery on high alert in Multan and Sialkot.
Local communities praised the efforts but urged permanent flood defenses.
“Connectivity is vital for recovery,” said a resident.
