Motorway sections closed for traffic due to dense fog

ISLAMABAD – Key motorway routes witnessed dense fog that paralyzed life, and caused disruptions amid the flow of traffic.

On Wednesday, fog engulfed the plains of the Punjab province, and several Motorway sections have been shut due to low visibility, National Highways & Motorway Police (NHMP) said.

Motorway police shared updates on social media, announcing closures and adding that Motorways will be opened when the visibility level improves.

Flight operation disrupted

Amid no option to travel between cities via motorways, Lahore Airport also found itself blanketed in thick fog, causing haphazard changes in schedules and flight operations.

It was reported that Sharjah-bound flight, PK185, was cancelled, Kuala Lumpur-bound PIA flight, PK898, and Airblue flight PA471 have also been cancelled.
