MANSEHRA: The remaining 12-km under-construction section of Hazara Motorway from Shah Maqsood Interchange to Havelian Interchange will be opened for traffic next month, said the National Highway Authority (NHA) on Monday.
According to the NHA, after completion of this portion, the motorway would become fully operational and provide a modern six-lane road facility to the people of Havelian, Abbottabad, Mansehra and adjoining areas.
The 47-km section of the Hassanabdal-Havelian Motorway from Burhan to Shah Maqsood interchange was opened for traffic in December last year.

It will have five tunnels -two at Abbotabad, one each at Battal, Karmong and Mansehra.

He said the CPEC was a highly important project in the history of the country and the government was responsible for ensuring provision of its benefits to common people.
