Shahbazpur bridge is near to completion with opening date 31st Mar 2018. Once open distance between Gujrat Sambrial morr via Jalalpur Jattan will be around 30km or 25 min. Same bridge will be used for Sialkot Kharian motorway as well.
New road along side this bridge is being constructed with opening date 31st march 2018. This road will connect Gujrat city to Sialkot Lahore Motorway via Jalalpur jattan.
There is another road called Defence Road between Jalalpur Jattan and Kharian. Its dual carriageway and last year it was recarpeted. After bridge opening people going to ISB will have another route with shorter journeys in both distance and timing. Currently it takes around 40 min(40km) from Jalalpur Jattan to Kharian so from sialkot it should be extra 25 min(20km). At the moment Sialkot to kharian via GT road is around 100km and at least 1 hour 45 min.
Biggest benefit of this bridge will be 25 min journey time from Sialkot city to University of Gujrat .
Currently it takes more then hour or 60 km from Gujrat to Sialkot Airport via wazirabad.

Bhakkar-D.I. Khan bridge
Later, Prime Minister Abbasi performed the groundbreaking of a bridge on the River Indus to connect Bhakkar and Dera Ismail (D.I.) Khan.
Costing Rs7 billion, the project will take around 18 months to complete establishing a new road link between the Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces to facilitate goods transport.
The federal government will fund the project and Rs400 million has been allocated for it during the fiscal 2017-18. Being a component of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), the bridge will be linked with DI Khan-Islamabad motorway.
Currently, there are 15 crossing points over the River Indus with none including bridges, barrages and head works being wider than 20 feet which is insufficient to accommodate the traffic congestion and load. The bridge will link the Kallur Kot area of Bhakkar and D.I. Khan’s Dhaki area by reducing the distance from 80km to just 15km.
The four-lane bridge will be 1.28km-long and the total stretch of roads on both the carriageways would be around 14.2km. The design life of the bridge is 100 years with the traffic speed to be set at 100km an hour.
