“Now the ECNEC approval of building motorway through Build Operate Transfer (BOT) structure at an estimated cost of Rs. 165 billion was given today,” he added.
The Hoshab-Awaran segment of M-8 motorway will further enhance connectivity of Balochistan, and play an important role in providing connectivity to the future trade through Gwadar with central Pakistan.
Asad Umar said Swat motorway extension will run from Chakdara through Saidu Sharif Mingora, Matta, Khawazakhela all the way to Fatehpur.
This will help open up the economic and tourism potential of this beautiful region, he added.
