Waiting for it to be completed. The distance from Karachi to other parts would not get reduced ofcourse but the travel will become relaxing.

However I don't enjoy traveling much on motorways and would start yawning within 5 minutes.

Sindh Chief Secretary Dr Sohail Rajput on Tuesday chaired a meeting to review progress regarding the construction of the Hyderabad Sukkur Motorway (M6) project.

During the meeting, the Hyderabad commissioner told the meeting that NHA will start work on the construction of M6 motorway in Jamshoro and Hyderabad.

The NHA officials briefed the chief secretary that work on the M6 motorway will start from both sides of the section – Hyderabad and Rohri.

To think had this motorway been in place sooner, how much easier it would have been to rescue people during the floods, provide supplies to those effected and even perhaps to house people near the motorway if they had lost their jobs. Perhaps even using one side of the motorway as a giant temporary refugee camp; a motorway way this long could host hundred of thousands In the Acute phase of a rescue operation.

On another note, is the speed limit adhered to on the motorways? 120 kmph as the limit allowed.

Construction of Hyderabad to Sukkur Motorway to begin this month

KARACHI: The construction of the M-6, Hyderabad to Sukkur Motorway would begin in the last week of April or in the first week of May.

The Rs307 billion project is likely to complete in two and a half years. This was announced by the officials of the National Highway Authority in a meeting with the chief secretary of Sindh.

The length of the M-6 Motorway will be 306 km and it will have a six-lane carriageway which will pass through seven districts Jamshoro, Hyderabad, Matiari, Nawabshah, Nowshahroferoz, Khairpur Mirs, and Sukkur. The Motorway will have seven service centres or rest areas. It will use 6,752 acres of land and will have 15 interchanges and canals. Some 165 bridges will be constructed over these canals. Rs307billion will be spent on the project and it will complete in two and a half years.

The project installation of reference points for the drone survey has been completed, while an independent engineer and auditor have to be appointed. A group of nine banks has been formed with the lead of Punjab Bank. For the project 22 km of land will be acquired in district Jamshoro district, 13 km in district Hyderabad, 59 km in district Shaheed Benazir Abad (Nawabshah), 30 km in district Khairpur, two km in district Sukkur, 98 km in district Matiari and 82 km in district Nowshahrofiroz.

A few months ago the project grabbed headlines when some senior district officers were accused of swindling Rs eight billion meant for land acquisition of the M6 Motorway in Matiari and Nowshahrofiroz.
