The government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa plans to improve connectivity by building a direct route from Abbottabad city to the Hazara Motorway.
According to details, Ameer Nadeem Durrani, Minister for Rural Development and Local Government, and Ahmad Jan, Caretaker Minister for Communications and Works suggested starting work at Sherwan Interchange to connect Abbottabad through a tunnel.
The meeting was told that the provincial government had communicated its request to the federal government for the expansion of the Sherwan Interchange. Furthermore, the request for the construction of an interchange through a tunnel has also been sent to Islamabad.
The primary objective of the project is to connect several areas, including Abbottabad City, Mansehra, Nathiagali, and the surrounding areas, leading to reduced traffic in Abbottabad City.
In a meeting held in Abbottabad, officials deliberated over these plans. Starting the Abbottabad BRT project, clearing out rainfall drains, and fixing road problems close to the Hazara Motorway’s end at Peshawar Morr is the top priority right now.
During the meeting, officials stressed the importance of completing infrastructure projects on time, resolving issues left by previous contractors, and investigating any incomplete work.
With a focus on cleaning the drains as soon as possible, a comprehensive strategy for renovating and cleaning all of Abbottabad’s drains was discussed. Authorities were given instructions to measure every drain and take swift action for its redesign in collaboration with Tehsil Municipal Administrations (TMAs).
Moreover, the provincial ministers directed officials to inform the Public Service Commission about the evening and night shift vacancies in District Headquarters Hospitals (DHQs).
They were also ordered to ask for the Election Commission of Pakistan’s (ECP) permission to fill these positions. The meeting gave the officials instructions to deal with matters concerning these BHUs: Boghar Mang BHU, Kot Najibullah BHU, Dhodial Mental and General Hospital, and Abbottabad Teaching Hospital.
IT IS GOOD , BUT MAY I KNOW THE REASON FOR NEGLECTING SOUTHERN DISTRICTS OF KP FROM FACILITY OF MOTORWAY? ( PESHAWAR TO DIK). IT APPEARS IF THESE DISTRICTS ARE NOT PART OF KP.
Because KPK is a yateem province, not a part of Pakistan.
Mr I think abbottabad also part of kpk. And I support all developments of Pakistan. From Karachi.
DIK is well connected through Peshawar- DIK Indus highway and also M14.
indus highway is in pathetic condition
Stop nationalism, first give tax then demand anything. Abbottabad also part of Pakistan, I belong to Karachi but I am so happy any development of Pakistan.

It is a good thing to clean the drains but will be only successful if people will learn too not to throw garbage in the streets or on the roads.Self learning is very important which is almost near to zero in our country. Otherwise Good luck 🤞
I think Abbottabad is well connected with Mansehra through motorway.The NHA worked on the most feasible alignment ever possible.Being hilly area having numerous ravines ditches hill torrents and protuding mountain outcrops any further extension modifications or connection through tunnel would be exorbitantly costly.If we work on cost comparison with other similar projects in KP we may relatively find projects more feasible .
I want to highlight two points here:-
a. Connecting Abbottabad through the proposed Sherwan Interchange needs to be based on an informed decision. The city’s distance from Havalian Interchange is barely 7 Kms. Improving the segment of KKH (between Havalian Interchange – Abbottabad – Qalandar Abad Interchange) including widening of the road to 3 lanes on either side, will resolve the problem to a big extent. And, the envisaged interchange may be considered towards the Mansehra side end of Abbottabad, rather than the proposing it at the vicinity of Shima Hills / Sherwan Interchange.
b. Focus on removing impediments in the flow of rain water due to encroachments by locals/Govt buildings needs to be centered on widening the water channels east of the Mansehra Road and on the culverts located on the Mansehra Road itself. The relavent authority must consider that the portions of nullahs west of Mansehra Road, contribute minimally / insignificantly to flooding.
c. The Cantonment Board which happens to be the guardian against encroachments, has itself encroached a water channel in the main cantonment near the PTCL office. Can someone ask them about that?
Thats the people of Abbot abad and sarrouding areas demanded for long time to ease trafic in abbotabad on GT road as it is seeking some one to think about this road since 1947 same .
The Cantonment Board Abbottabad has made a commercial plaza in the vicinity of the PTCL office
If this program completed timely it will be very beneficial for its inhabitants..
Beautiful city abbottabad badly need BRT project for public transport
