(DIKhan#Islamabad Hakla) Motorway may become operational in June 2021..
Finally, the once much-discussed western corridor motorway is expected to be completed and become operational by June this year after a delay of 30 months. The road will run between the Hakla Interchange on the M-1 motorway in #Fatehjang and Yarak near Dera Ismail Khan. The motorway will serve the more backward southern districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) as well as the more remote north-western districts of Punjab and eventually connect to the proposed Yarak Zhob Quetta motorway.
More than 80 percent of work on the 292.50km-long four-lane motorway -- with 12 interchanges and costing Rs 122 billion has been completed
