Indus Highway
In 1988, the Government of Pakistan announced the construction of the Indus Highway (N55) of total length 1,250 km, designated to provide a shorter alternative to the existing National Highway N5 of 1,650 km linking Karachi with Peshawar via Lahore. Besides reducing the distance and lessening the pressure on the traffic on National Highway N5, the Indus Highway would be instrumental in bringing socio-economic progress to less developed areas which lie in the path of the proposed new highway.
