Swat Motorway Project work is progress. Due to very hard areas, two new tunnels and five new bridges are proposed as well. Anyhow, motorway will become functional in May this year by a standard diversion at Palai mountains and vehicles will be allowed from Pul sokai to Karnal Sher Interchange with out any restriction in May ...Insha Allah

Swat Expressway to help attract foreign tourists
Road passes through 21 bridges and 1,300 meters of twin tunnels on National Highway N-45
Expressways play a pivotal role in economic and tourism development of a country. Moreover, these provide an easy access to isolated and less visited destinations of tourism, heritage and archeological sites in order to generate substantial revenue for the national kitty. Like most of the developing countries, tourism industry is underperforming since long in Pakistan despite its enormous potential primarily due to poor transportation system and lack of roads to interlink tourists’ destinations through enhanced motorways’ network.
To take full advantage of the rich tourism potential of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, including seven districts of Malakand Division, the former PTI Government had taken a principled decision to construct state-of-the-art 81 kilometers long Swat Expressway to explore the hidden treasures of Swat, Chitral, Dir Upper, Dir Lower, Kohistan, Shangla, Buner, Mohmand and Bajaur districts before the world.
