The long-awaited M-6 Motorway project has been divided into five sections as the government moves closer to beginning construction during the current fiscal year.
The decision marks a significant step forward for one of Pakistan’s most anticipated infrastructure projects, which aims to improve road connectivity between Sukkur and Hyderabad while strengthening the country’s motorway network.
The latest update was shared during a meeting of the National Assembly Standing Committee on Communications, chaired by Aijaz Hussain Jakhrani. Officials briefed the committee on the project’s progress and outlined the revised implementation strategy.
Under the new plan, the Sukkur-Hyderabad Motorway will be executed in five separate sections. Dividing the project into multiple packages is expected to streamline construction, improve project management, and facilitate faster execution by allowing different segments to be developed simultaneously.
The M-6 Motorway is a key missing link in Pakistan’s north-south motorway corridor. Once completed, it will connect Sukkur and Hyderabad, reducing travel times, improving freight movement, and enhancing connectivity between Sindh and the rest of the country’s motorway network.
The project is also expected to support economic activity by improving the transportation of goods, lowering logistics costs, and providing safer, high-speed travel for commuters and commercial vehicles. Its completion has long been viewed as critical to strengthening regional trade and supporting national infrastructure development.
Construction is expected to begin during the current fiscal year, subject to the completion of administrative and procurement processes. Authorities believe the revised implementation model will help overcome previous delays that have affected the project’s timeline.
The decision to divide the motorway into five sections reflects the government’s renewed focus on accelerating major infrastructure projects and ensuring their timely completion. Once operational, the M-6 Motorway is expected to become a vital component of Pakistan’s modern transport network.
