PESHAWAR: The National Highway and Motorway Police (NHMP) announced that multiple motorway sections would be closed because of heavy fog.
NHMP reported that Thursday night’s extremely thick fog rendered the road not only dangerous but also inaccessible to M-1, specifically from Peshawar Main Toll Plaza (Kilometre 498) to Rashakai interchange which was thus closed.
The following motorways are currently closed:
M-1: Peshawar to Rashkai
M-2: Thokar Niaz Beg to Chakri
M-3: Faizpur to Samundri
M-4: Pindi Bhattian to Gojra
M-11: Lahore to Sumbraial
M-14: Anjra to Isa Khel
دُھند کے باعث (موجودہ صورتحال):
ایم-1: پشاور سے رشکئی تک بند ہے۔
ایم-2: ٹھوکر نیاز بیگ سے چکری تک بند ہے۔
ایم-3: فیض پور سے سمندری تک بند ہے۔
ایم-4: پنڈی بھٹیاں سے گوجرہ تک بند ہے۔
ایم-11: لاہور سے سمبڑیال تک بند ہے۔
ایم-14: انجرا سے عیسی خیل تک بند ہے۔— National Highways & Motorway Police (NHMP) (@NHMPofficial) January 14, 2026
The NHMP (National Highways and Motorway Police) has warned drivers to steer clear of the impassable roadways and remain in the loop with the official sources. The dense mist that has enveloped a vast part of the nation is probably still going to hold back the vehicles for several more hours.
Motorists are given a reminder to exercise utmost care during driving on the free roads and in addition, they should postpone any journey until the conditions return to normal. Accidents resulting from the low visibility will be dealt with as emergency teams have been dispatched to rescue the stuck drivers and clear the road.
