The M-5 Motorway has been closed due to floodwater, and the Motorway Police has implemented a traffic diversion plan to facilitate road users, spokesperson NHMP, Syed Imran Ahmed confirmed.

Alternative Routes for Multan–Sukkur Traffic

Traffic from Multan to Sukkur can travel via the Shah Shams Interchange, diverting onto the National Highway, and later rejoining the M-5 at the Uch Sharif Interchange.
Traffic from Sukkur to Multan can exit at the Uch Sharif Interchange to use the National Highway, and then rejoin the M-5 at the Sher Shah Interchange.

That’s the normal M-5 route that travelers usually use; it’s currently closed.

NHMP suggests using this route, which is the GT road from Multan to Uch Sharif.

Motorway Police on Ground for Assistance

The Motorway Police is present on-site to guide road users and ensure safe travel through alternative routes. Patrolling officers are actively assisting drivers to manage the traffic flow.
