Peshawar - DIKhan Motorway is a big mistake as they already have Indus Highway N-55.

Instead they should build Peshawar - Zhob Motorway which will pass thru Kohat, Bannu, N. & S. Waziristan & will provide more benefit to such areas & will connect to Quetta & Gwadar in a shorter way.

Similarly, KPK / PR should rehabilitate old rail line & connect Peshawar to Quetta by building the missing links.

You are right Sir, that road or rail link will reduce the distance between Peshawar and Quetta. Which is now more than 24 through train. And if your purposed route would be active than it will shorten to less than half time. and it will also generate new economic activities in those areas.

Its only a mistake if big loan is being taken. If its being build on BOT basis then its great.

Highway cannot be converted in to motorway. Look at Karachi-Hydrabad motorway

Why? Just expand it by buying more land?
