Vehari is on the southern alternate route of railway and road between Multan and Lahore. The northern route is the main route. Both run roughly in north-eastern direction, almost parallel to each other and only 20 to 30 miles apart at any point. A section of the railway between Multan and Lahore was electrified on the main line between Khanewal and Lahore during the 1960s; however, in subsequent decades and lately with rapid decline and deterioration of the infrastructure of Pakistan Railway (PR), the electrified section lies in ruins and is not likely to be restored in the foreseeable future. With the new motorway between Multan and Lahore which has been completed and operational now, Vehari is set to benefit from its proximity to north.
