Government Approves M6 Hyderabad-Sukkur Motorway
The government has greenlit the construction of Hyderabad-Sukkur Motorway M-6 under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project.
According to the details, the completion period for this project is 30 months. It will include 15 interchanges, one major bridge over the Indus River, 82 bridges over canals, 19 overpass bridges, 6 flyovers, and 10 service areas.
CPEC officials told the media that this project will provide employment opportunities to the local people and will also support the country’s economy.
A recent update revealed that the National Highways & Motorway Police (NH&MP) has significantly reduced the speed limit on certain sections of motorways across Pakistan.
These sections of the motorway are either surrounded by population or have a bumpy road section. Also, with the winter season fast approaching, the visibility on motorways is compromised due to fog.
This precautionary step from NHMP is to discourage overspeeding under such circumstances and protect them from a potential tragedy.
