The N-140 highway connecting Chitral to Gilgit is set to be finalized by December 2026
The N-140 highway connecting Chitral to Gilgit is set to be finalized by December 2026, marking a major milestone in northern Pakistan’s infrastructure and regional connectivity. The project aims to provide a direct, all-weather route linking two strategically important regions, significantly reducing travel time and improving access across challenging mountainous terrain.
Officials and planners say the highway will play a critical role in boosting tourism, trade, emergency mobility, and socio-economic development in Gilgit-Baltistan and Upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Improved road connectivity is also expected to enhance logistics, disaster response, and local market access for remote communities.
Infrastructure experts note that projects like N-140 strengthen national integration, regional development, and long-term economic potential, while unlocking new opportunities for investment and sustainable growth in Pakistan’s northern areas.
