The motorway will originate from Karachi Port and seamlessly connect with the existing Sukkur Motorway, completing the North-South Motorway network across Pakistan. The project is expected to be executed under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model. However, if private sector participation is not secured, the government is prepared to bear the full cost to ensure its timely execution. |
