The Punjab government has officially completed construction of Lahore’s first dedicated tourism highway, the Wagah Heritage Corridor, under the directives of Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif. The ambitious project aims to improve travel infrastructure and promote tourism along the busy route leading to the Wagah Border.

Project Overview

Stretching 13 kilometers from the Quaid-e-Azam Interchange to the Wagah Border’s Zero Line, the Wagah Heritage Corridor is designed to accommodate both heavy traffic and tourism flows. Authorities have invested Rs. 285 million into the project so far.

The main carriageway spans 68 feet, with 20-foot-wide service roads on each side to ease congestion and improve accessibility for large vehicles.

Key Features and Upgrades

The corridor includes several modern infrastructure improvements:

  • 22 km RCC drainage system to prevent waterlogging and improve sanitation.
  • 10 km decorative wall showcasing aesthetic and cultural elements.
  • Solar-powered street lights to enhance road safety and reduce energy costs.

Cultural and Tourism Appeal

The route will feature illuminated portraits of national heroes and cultural displays celebrating Pakistan’s heritage, offering a visually engaging journey for travelers. This is particularly aimed at the thousands of visitors, including Sikh pilgrims from India, who attend the daily flag-lowering ceremony at the border.

Benefits Beyond Tourism

Officials highlight that the project is not only a tourism booster but also a long-term infrastructure solution. The improved road design and drainage will help address persistent waterlogging issues, enhance traffic flow, and ensure a smoother travel experience for the millions who use the route annually.

A Step Forward for Punjab’s Tourism Vision

By blending functional upgrades with cultural displays, the Wagah Heritage Corridor reflects the Punjab government’s strategy to make Lahore a tourism-friendly city while tackling infrastructure challenges head-on.
