From there, it runs to Mehmood Booti via GT Road, Canal Bank Road, Harbanspura Interchange, Barki Road, Abdullah Gul Interchange, Allama Iqbal International Airport, Ghazi Road, DHA Phase V & VII, Sui Gas Society, Ferozpur Road, Hudaira Drain (South) to Halloki, Bahria Town and then to Niaz Baig.

The Punjab government established the Lahore Ring Road Authority (LRRA) to closely oversee the project’s progress and to perform routine maintenance on the expressway. This authority was established under the Lahore Ring Road Authority Act 2011, which regulates the expressway’s operational features including design, development, management, and maintenance.
