ISLAMABAD: The National Highway Authority plans to spend Rs 8550.425 million on improvement and widening of Nowshehra- Chitral Highway (N-45).
"Improvement and widening of Chakdara-Timergrah-Dir-Chitral (141 km) section" is a new project which will complete left over sections of the project "improvement of N-45 for dualisation, rehabilitation and reconstruction, which was undertaken in 2006 at the cost of Rs 2399 million," a source in the Ministry of Communications told APP on Thursday.
Regarding the new project global PC-I worth Rs 9202.488 m was discussed by Central Development Working Party (CDWP) in October 2011, which was recommended with revised scope of work with rationalized cost of Rs 8550.425 million, he said. The Takhtbai flyover project was also included in the PC-I of the project, he added.
However, the commencement of work on the project, he said, depended on the approval by ECNEC and allocation of funds.
A durable and effective communications infrastructure is very important for the promotion of trade, tourism, industry and agriculture in Swat and Malakand areas, and the Ministry of Communications is carrying out construction activity on priority basis in these areas where people have suffered great hardships, he added.
