The National Highway Authority (NHA) had issued tender for consultancy services for feasibility study and preliminary design for Sambrial-Kharian Motorway Project under Public Private Partnership arrangement, an official of NHA told APP on Sunday.

The proposed highway would start from the termination point of Lahore-Sialkot Motorway at Sambrial, thus providing Kharian a motorway link to Lahore.

The motorway project would help link remote areas with big cities and reduce the distance between Sialkot and Lahore.
