Moreover new industrial estates would be developed on Sambrial, Gujranwala and Muridke interchanges along with the new economic corridor which will surely augment industrial production in area of its influence.
Besides, two universities, a sports city, IT Park and Lake City would also be developed along with the motorway. The Sialkot-Lahore motorway would also be supportive in enhancing farm and agriculture industry while help reduce the poverty graph in long neglected towns and districts spreading from Narang Mandi, Narowal, Pasrur to Sialkot.
In addition to this more than sixty thousands (60,000) trees were being planted on Sialkot-Lahore motorway route for its beautification and to ensure pollution-free environment to the travellers.
