Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Muhammad Sohail Afridi chaired an important meeting to review progress on the province’s flagship road sector projects, including Swat Motorway Phase II, the Peshawar–Dera Ismail Khan Motorway, and the Dir Motorway.
During the meeting, officials briefed the chief minister on the status of the projects, and the government took several key decisions. The chief minister directed the relevant departments to start construction on Swat Motorway Phase-II as soon as possible, describing it as a flagship project of the provincial government.
He instructed authorities to resolve all technical and administrative issues without delay. Swat Motorway Phase-II will extend 80 kilometers from Chakdara Interchange to Fatehpur. The project includes nine interchanges and seven bridges at various locations over the Swat River.
The chief minister also indicated that the government will soon lay the foundation stone of the Peshawar–Dera Ismail Khan Motorway. The 365-kilometer-long motorway will include 19 interchanges and two tunnels. The government will complete both the Peshawar–Dera Ismail Khan Motorway and Swat Motorway Phase II under a public-private partnership model.
For the Dir Motorway, the meeting decided in principle that the provincial government will construct the project entirely using provincial resources.
The chief minister directed departments to quickly complete all legal and administrative requirements to begin practical work, stating that the government is using available resources effectively and transparently to ensure development and prosperity in remote areas of the province.
