The full length of the highway will be 1100 kilometers. As reported by Lijian Zhao, a total of $2.89 billion has gone into the completion of the Multan-to-Sukkur section of the project. While commending the efforts of the people involved, Zhao also added that the project was completed ahead of its intended deadline.
In a relevant development that took place about a month ago, Prime Minister Imran Khan announced the initiation of the Main Line-1 (ML-1) railway project. The ML-1 project is also a part of the CPEC projects. It is also, reportedly, the biggest railway project in Pakistan to date. The project will facilitate train passengers to travel from Karachi to Lahore and vice versa in just seven hours, the premier had said.
