The Karachi-Hyderabad motorway has been approved by the federal government, giving a major push to road connectivity in Sindh. The new route, named M-10, will cover 168 kilometers and feature 10 interchanges. Survey work has already started to map the alignment. Officials say the project will make transport and trade between the two key cities much faster and safer.
During a recent meeting with Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah, progress on the Hyderabad-Sukkur motorway, known as M-6, was also reviewed. The M-6, divided into four sections, will cost around 363 billion rupees. Construction on the Hyderabad-Sukkur stretch is expected to start soon under the supervision of the National Highway Authority (NHA).
The Sindh Chief Minister thanked the federal government for pushing forward projects that had faced long delays. He said the new motorways would help ease traffic pressure, improve access to ports, and create fresh business opportunities.

Federal Minister for Communications Aleem Khan assured that the center would fully back both M-10 and M-6 projects. He added that these highways are vital for modernizing Pakistan’s road system, cutting travel time, and ensuring safer journeys.
With these developments, authorities expect the highway network to support economic growth in Sindh and southern Punjab. Local communities also hope for better access to markets, jobs, and services once the projects are complete.
