Ahsan Iqbal shared pictures of under-contruction western route of CPEC

[pkfighter]

I am sharing work in progress pics on western route of CPEC. Construction of road in the area is a challenging task but FWO is doing it with great sense of mission. Some friends have commented that why this road is not a six lane motorway. First of all let me clarify that there is no new six lane motorway project under construction for CPEC.

CPEC plan is to improve/ upgrade existing highways for fastest connectivity. Peshawar-Lahore-Karachi motorway project is not a new project. It was started in 1990 by NS govt and was supposed to be completed by 2000. Unfortunately, due to political discontinuities it lingered on. Now it is being completed with BOT private sector financing on the basis of the traffic and cargo volume.

If govt has to do a Karachi- Lahore section of motorway from its own resources it doesn't have that much space yet and can't afford it. Likewise, in future when traffic volume will grow, western route will also be dualized. When there are limited resources, infrastructure is build incrementally. This road is bringing revolution by providing remotest areas connectivity which enemies of development don't want to happen. Inside China, there is also a similar two lane road from Khunjrab to Kashghar.

Western Alignment of CPEC in Balochistan under construction

Western route of China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) under construction from Gawadar to Sorab (650 KMs) to provide connectivity upto Quetta, Qila Saifullah, Zhob and D.I Khan. As you can see, sections which have been completed are making transformational impact in remotest areas by providing connectivity.
Whole Nation pays tribute to its Officers, Jawans & Engineers who are working on this project under toughest conditions and temperature as high as 50 degree centigrade.

Please read the Project history first before commenting!

"The project was proposed by Chinese Premier Li Keqiang during his visit to Pakistan in May 2013. The Pak-China Economic Corridor Secretariat was inaugurated in Islamabad on 27 August 2013. The Corridor is an extension of Chinas proposed 21st century Silk Road initiative. While the project took shape during Sharif's tenure, the vision for an economic route stretches as far back as the Musharraf era"

I think its enough for giving Credit to Pak Army & Chinese Think Tank!

How possible that the western route is under construction in span of a few weeks.
This seems to some other road under construction in Balochistan.
Road is not the only demand of the people of KPK and BALOCHISTAN., there economic zones along side the route can you point out where these economic zones will be built.

Work was started about one year back when General Raheel Sharif and Nawaz Sharif visited Gawader. This contract was given to Pak Army FW or some name like that.

i hope it is completed and successful in time

but it is better to make 3-4 lanes instead of 2 with exclusive lane for trailers since containers will be transported on trailers
if they are digging up everying, no harm in simultaneous railway for future cargo movement

 

[DaPainKiller]

well done!!!

 

[Pathfinder]

(clap)(clap) Brilliant it is coming along nicely and I hope it can finish on time so the country can prosper. InshAllah

 

[noumanali26]

mashaAllah great work....but would have been better to make dual carriage way not single....to avoid fast and collision free traffic.....

no McDonalds no gas stations, no AAA ?

This single way, comprised of single lane is fraud, the real route is the six lanes road, passing in Punjab under the guise of Lahore-Karachi motorway which will connect with Gwadar thru makran costal highway on one end and will reached to Sost thru havelia on the other end!!!
