The announcement came via the Twitter account of Spokesman and DDG Information Department Foreign Ministry of China, Lijian Zhao. The project is a 6-lane motorway that connects Karachi and Hyderabad via the M-9 route. The Multan-Sukkur section of the motorway is reportedly 392 kilometers and has a speed limit of 120 kilometers per hour for light traffic vehicles.

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.
it should have been designed for upto 180KM/H. I know max speed limit in Pakistan is 120 km/p but with time things will advance. New and faster cars will require better highways so they can easily and quickly cover long distance journeys.
Yeah In the ERA 660CC Is Called LTV Others FTV (FAST TRAFFIC)
110 to Main 660CC Ko Le Gaya Officially, ENGINE Wise Speed Honi Chahyeh
660CC Upto 120 KM/H
1000CC Upto 140 KM/H
1001 TO 1500 CC Upto 180 KM/H
1501 TO 2100 CC Upto 200 KM/H
2101 CC TO ABOVE Upto 260 KM/H
QK USER ITNE PE HE CHALTE HAI UN OFFICIALLY
No highways in the world has designed to take speed above 120 KM per hour with a very few exceptions in Germany. It will increase accidents, when cars are going on different speeds. Our driving style, habits, tyre etc are not capable of that.
I KNOW BUT UN OFFICIALY CHALTI HE ITNE PE HAI
145 PE SWIFT CHALAYA HUM NE :
Thats an illegal act from you and all those people who drive above 120km/h . So don’t judge the limitations set by the officials . Take it as your illegal act! Thank you

This section is already opened. I traveled along with it three week earlier.
Islamabad-D I khan moterway when will open?
i used this root last year in december. nice journey n safe time. appro. 4 hours i reached multan but inbetween motorway have´t any pumps, rest area, motels n puncture shops. i think these facilities are now starts. its fine. but please tell us that sukkur to karachi motorway when completed n start. i m waiting if Allah gives me a healthy life.
All facilities are now available, I travelled last week.
Wish to see ML1 project in same pace. Awaiting.
Now petrol pumps and tuc shops are available only problem is that barbed wires or road fencing is not properly done so stray dogs suddenly come before the cars. I also met accident as the dog suddenly jumped before my car. Be careful at night while driving on this section of motorway
Road Safety is most important, without a rated international, dogs, wild beast may create legal liability to the NHA. It is in the TOR of NHA. There’s a proposal for safe compliance with co-habitance to the regulator to address the issue for safe, for driving 24/7 365 days.
This is a good way between pak China connection, and this is prosperity of both countries peoples.
Yes the good roads will open up our beautiful country and leads to progressive economy and develop tourism. Good Tourist hotels be build along the route with rest room facilities for motorist. Keep it up
We salute to the friendship of Great China. They are the best friends and no other country in 73 years has helped us in such projects like roads and power and railway and ports and JF Thunder jets. We Pakistanis love our Chinese friends
This section is already opened. I traveled along with it 9 months earlier.
Meanwhile China is imprisoning muslims in Xinjiang and nothing appears about them in our media
Opening for M5 was first delayed by slowing it down, further even on completion two years back it was further delayed with its opening more than a year and a half back, then no service areas even fuel stations were not operationalized, now this announcement of opening on 16 Dec seems only related to Chinese formally transferring maintenance to Pakistan after any agreed maintenance by the Chinese
We Need Sukkar to Hyderabad Motorway… Plz work on it
الحمدللہ رب العالمین we are waiting to Karachi to sukkker motor way
When Sukkur -Hyderabad will start.
I traveled Sukkur -Multan motorway 8 months earlier. Why announced now.
Nice one
Multan Sukhar motorway was opened on October 2019 for traffic. I have travelled many times on this motorway.
Quetta and Balichistan got ignored again in CPEC. They are human beings of a lesser god.
Some body asked about the sukkher-Hydreabad section when it will be open for traveling?
