This does what you want.

a = 1.234;

Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, Pi}, Prolog -> {RGBColor[1, 1, 0],
     Rectangle[{0, 0}, {a, a}], RGBColor[0, 1, 0],
     Rectangle[{a, 0}, {Pi, a}], RGBColor[0, 0, 0]},
   Epilog -> {Dashing[{0.02}], RGBColor[1, 0, 0],
     Thickness[0.01], Line[{{1.234, 0}, {a, 1}}]},
   Ticks -> {{{a, ToString[a]}, {Pi, "\[Pi]"}},
     Automatic}];
