PM to perform ground-breaking ceremony of Hazara Motorway
APPISLAMABAD - Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif will perform the ground-breaking ceremony of the Hazara Motorway on Saturday.
The important road link will be part of Pakistan-China Economic Corridor agreement. The 60-kilometre long four-lane fenced expressway would cost Rs 33 billion. The Hazara Motorway will reduce the drive time from Islamabad to Havelian to just 30 minutes, in addition to providing road to the Havelian Dry Port project. “The project is a translation of the prime minister’s commitment to expand the networks of motorways to build a progressive Pakistan,” the prime minister’s office said.
The project anticipates hundreds of thousands of employment opportunities, possibilities of new business ideas, and socio-economic uplift of the whole region.
