If you are interested in development of this sort, I encourage you to follow the Bosnian 5C freeway project. Bosnia is also a very mountainous country, not like Himalayas, but still quite mountainous. This freeway in Bosnia will have 40km of dual freeway tunnels over a segment of 150km. and gold only knows how many bridges.

Actually, I am soemwhat mechanical guy, not civil . I just shared bcz at that age (1966) army had doen a lot and suffered so much. I mean road construction is not their job, but they were the only 'highly' equppied and man powered organisation. So, they had to that. Officers and men worked together and died togather.

I pray Bosnia had all the prosperity in terms of infrastructure. For mountanious regions, roads are important for defence (besides tourism and connectivity). I think Serbia war mongering has come down a little as few months ago, there was some tension. Anyway bro, best of luck.

Yes I was a little confused why army engineers would be building a civilian road. But it was 1966 and perhaps the construction sector wasn't as developed then and also its probably cheaper to used the army.

How is the road today? is it safe for a tourist to drive on?

Thank you. Roads and freeway are indeed the lifeblood of a country. Also, freeways make very good runways, and tunnels make good shelters and Especially when Serbia is working to destabilise the country. We have a lot of sap gap measures to avoid a new conflict, including police, army, NATO, US, Turkey. The serbs probably have too much to lose to start any adventures, but the is always the chance of miscalculation where they think certain actions will not lead to conflict, when they actually will.

Strategic highway S1 ( 167 Km ) Jaglot ( Gilgit ) - Skardu progress video - Nov 2021 .

Most Strategic highway of Pakistan and toughest of all as well . This Highway links Gilgit with Skardu and is used for defending LOC areas ( Including Siachen ) by Pakistan Armed Forces . Completion expected till January - March 2022 . @PanzerKiel @_NOBODY_ @Moon

thats just spectacular. The bottom looks like it could use some anchoring points to prevent a landslide. Around the silver area, or even bulldoze that hill back.

Is the highway two lanes only? the traffic seems light for a road connecting 1.3 billion people with 270 million people.

You added 50 million more people for pak
Both sides are sparsely populated though
So it's just a highway not a freeway

This is Worth a watch. There probably won't be too many death this time around thatnks to technology and experience. In 1966 I think this was mainly done my hand and jackhammers.

The area is very unstable geologically, and I think in the future a few tunnels 40 or 50km long wont be a bad idea. also railway would really transform that area and significantly enhance trade.

Trailer looks amazing. Can't wait for it to be released.

Have had the honor of meeting a few of these men. I wish this documentary was in English too, or at least had Captions in English so other people could see it. It’s really well made.

Looks quite nice with the sound and cinematography at first glance, guess I'll give it a watch.

Fortunately it has been added.

Very nice production. Hatts of to all engineers, workers and locals. Especially, to Lt Gen Javed Nasir.
@thetutle . He is the same guy who silently uplifted the tank buster to Bosnia.
Here he was tasked to make a road at 165,000 ft with basic tools. His team was isolated for 2-3 months and worked daily. His 5-6 team members got frost bite, but they still carried their work.

Looks good will watch later
