The M-9 motorway or Karachi–Hyderabad motorway

The M-9 motorway or the Karachi–Hyderabad motorway  is a north–south motorway in the Sindh province of Pakistan, connecting Karachi to Hyderabad. The six-lane road is 136 kilometers long,  and caters to the commercial traffic originating from the Karachi Port and Port Qasim. Daily traffic count is around 30,000. The motorway is an upgrade of the old Super Highway. On 11 March 2015, an inauguration ceremony was held for the M-9 Motorway with a planned completion date of August 2017. The six-lane, four-interchange road linking Karachi to Hyderabad was estimated to cost Rs. 36 billion. The interchanges at Dadabhai, Industrial Valley, Nooriabad, and Thana Bola Khan, were to enable Tharparkar, Jimphir, Keenjhar, and other areas to be connected as well. On 3 February 2017, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif inaugurated a completed section of the motorway from Loni Kot to Lucky toll plaza. At that time, about half part of the route (75 km out of 136 km) had been completed, with the other half having an expected completion date of March 2018. On 24 December 2020, a new toll plaza was inaugurated on the M-9. With 24 lanes (6 entry, 18 exit points), it is the largest toll plaza in Pakistan. In February 2022, the federal government decided to further upgrade the motorway from six to eight lanes to cater to the high traffic volume . . . .. ___M-9 motorway (ایم ٩ موٹروے) Karachi–Hyderabad motorway. ___Route information:- Maintained by NHA Length:- 136 km (85 mi) Existed :- 2017–present. ___Major junctions:- South-west end Karachi North-east end Hyderabad. ____Location:- Country:- Pakistan Major cities:- Karachi Nooriabad Jamshoro Hyderabad ____Highway system:- Roads in Pakistan ←  M-8→  M-9 . . . .
