NHA road project completed
ISLAMABAD: A National Highway Authority (NHA) road projectfunded by the government of Japan, has successfully completed. The project, Kararo-Wadh section of National Highway N-25 in Balochistan, was reportedly granted around $49M by the government of Japan. The project N-25 is an important link road with a total length of 813 km that connects Karachi to Chaman via Quetta.
As this route links Afghanistan and neighboring inland countries to the port of Karachi by the shortest route, the importance of N-25 has grown significantly. Transport is an important sector in any economy. In Pakistan, road transport accounts for 89 percent of passenger traffic and 96 percent of the freight traffic.
It is therefore of great significance that the road network should not only be maintained but also be widened and rehabilitated. Before the initiation of the project, the 96 km road between Kararo and Wadh was very narrow, had poor visibility, steep inclines and sharp curves that drastically slowed down the progress of large vehicles. staff report
