Anybody can please update me from where i can take M-4 while traveling towards Isb from Bwp?

stonedsaint 2017-02-13 11:12:00 +0500 #288

my usual route between Bwp - Isb

Bwp - Lodran - M4 (just before multan) - Khaniwal (GT Road N5) - Chichawatni - Kamalia (via bypass) - TT Singh (via bypass) - Gojra (experienced bypass is narrow few years back so get into city) - M4 - Isb

Thanks for guiding, but if any idea where i can find the way to take M-4 from Bwp? Last year i came from lahore via M-4 till Bwp but could'nt find on the way towards isb so just wanted to be sure this time so not to miss it...

from bwp you have to travel on lodran multan N5 to take motorway M4 approx 15 km before multan ! there is no motorway connect to bwp !
attached link for reference .....

Thanks bro, the link is too helpful,, i had saved it !!!! One more help required. How is the road condition from Chichawatni to gojra? can we maintain speed and how much time it take from Chichawatni to gojra M-4?

Thanks

Best and clean route is BWP to Multan to Kabirwala to Shortkut city to Jhangbypass to Gojra and then M4 starts 7 km before Gojra city once ur on M4 you will cross Faisalabad on M3 and connect M2 on Pindibhattian

stonedsaint 2017-02-13 12:26:51 +0500 #293

Thanks

Chichawatni to gojra M4 road is all good, no potholes but its kinda rushy when city came, thats why bypass are must, and one have to be careful as its single road .... but could easily maintain 90-100 km/hr safely.

Yes, agree its short, but i had traveled on that route like 5 years back, had bad experience with sugarcane trucks, traffic jam and rush, but it could be coincidence / seasonal issue !
Hows road condition and traffic on kabirwala, shorkot and jhang road now a days ?

rpawar (rpawar) 2017-02-13 12:58:36 +0500 #295

Thanks

stonedsaint has provided the best route. It'd take only 90 minutes from Chichawatni to Gojra M4 interchange. It isn't one-way road though, so beware of motorcyclists. I reached ISB (home-to-home) in 9.50 hours, with 0.50 hours stay.
The alternate route of Shorkot - Jhang isn't advisable because you'd have to travel on two-way road all the way from MUL to M4 interchange, and can take 100 minutes more than Chichawatni route.

last year we took this route and that was too hectic and time consuming... So want to take chichawatni route now.

Thanks for your info. The Kabirwala route is so hectic, we took this route last year and regret it throughout the way back to karachi.

sorry for the late reply, I traveled from Islo to Chichawatni......From lahore till Gojra it was motorway...From Gojra till chichawatni the road is single but in good condition....Need to be careful while driving as there is traffic on road.....Better to travel in day time....

Islamabad-----Gojra----Toba----Kamalia----chichawatni. this was my route....
