The motorway section from Thokar Niaz Baig to Sheikhupura Interchange had reopened after the fog had started to disappear, resulting in improved visibility on Thursday. According to PTV, thick fog had covered the motorway that increased in the morning and reduced visibility to zero. However, the motorway was reopened for traffic after a few hours when the haze started to settle down. Long queues of vehicles were witnessed soon after the closure and commuters resumed their journey after the motorway police allowed them to travel.
