Severe fog has led to the complete closure of several key motorways across Punjab, causing major disruption to traffic and daily travel. Motorways M-2, M-3, M-4, and M-11 have been blocked for all types of vehicles due to extremely low visibility, posing serious risks to commuters.
According to Motorway Police, dense fog reduced visibility to near zero in many areas, making driving conditions highly dangerous. As a precautionary measure, authorities decided to suspend traffic movement on these routes to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of travelers. The closures were enforced during the early morning hours when fog intensity peaked.
The shutdown of these major motorways has affected intercity travel, goods transportation, and routine commuting. Passengers traveling between major cities have been advised to delay their journeys until weather conditions improve. Motorway Police have urged drivers to strictly avoid unnecessary travel and follow safety guidelines.
Meteorological officials say the ongoing cold wave combined with moisture in the air is responsible for persistent fog, which may continue over the next few days, especially during late nights and early mornings. Motorway Police remain on high alert and are closely monitoring the situation.
Authorities have assured that traffic will be restored immediately once visibility improves to safe levels. Citizens are advised to stay updated through official traffic advisories and weather forecasts before planning travel.
