The National Highway Authority (NHA) has begun to publish tenders for the building and repair of highways worldwide. The zonal authorities are attempting to get traffic moving again on a number of roadways. Asad Mahmood, the federal minister of communications, was said to be in charge of overseeing the national highway reconstruction project. The Lahore Eastern Bypass and Gujrat Bypass, which were damaged by the recent major floods and rain spells, are currently being worked on by the authority to remove stagnant flood water and get rid of weeds.
