The Transport Infrastructure Needs Improvement
GENERAL:
This is a project of national importance, which aims to improve the transport infrastructure by
constructing a new four-lane access-controlled dual carriageway with a barrier in the centre. The
length of M-4 from Faisalabad to Khanewal is 184 kms and proposed M-4 extension is 42 km
designed for 120 km/hr speed facility. The civil works will involve construction of four new
lanes, fence, grade-separated interchanges, under passes, toll plazas, rest/service areas, flyovers
etc. Total formation width of the proposed expressway will be 24.2 metres.
Prime objectives of the proposed Project are to:
 Enhance trade activities in the country;
 To provide in future the trade linkage of Central Asian Republics with Pakistan.
 Provide safe, high speed and time saving corridor to the travellers;
 Enhance the efficiency of road network; and
 Reduce the number of accidents.
The existing environment in the Project Area has been studied with respect to physical,
ecological, cultural and socio-economic aspects. The data collection for M-4 extension was
carried out during month of June 2009
At present, there are mostly agricultural fields on site of the proposed Project; therefore baseline
environment of the Project Area is free from environmental pollution such as dust, noise or
vehicular emissions. This will allow the determination of baseline conditions against which the
incremental impact of the proposed Project will be assessed. Human impacts such as road safety,
traffic noise, vehicular emissions and other types of associated pollution are taken into
consideration for the operational stage of the proposed Project. These factors are therefore
discussed as part of the baseline environmental conditions in the Project Area.
