Good work. it will cover all expenses of building within 5 years and rest will go to army. in this case army will earn some money for their need

@Qalandari Thank Bilawal Zardari for his development.

i hope good plantation is done on the sides.
Now this may sound stupid but it will be necessary. Not only will this increase the tree cover but in this scorching heat the asphalt road will be baked, good tress cover on sides will help us tackle that plus there are not many three like this in that area so any increase will be appreciated.

M2 roads Built by Concrete initially, now most of the M2 is Asphalt road, like that that M9 also built by Asphalt.

I think Concrete is only at some spots at salt range. rest of the M2 is asphalt road.
M1 is completely asphalt road

What i meant is, like on M2 the smoothness and quality of road is way different than other highways. So i wanted to ask hows the quality of M9 in comparison with M2. Especially with M2 section from Bhera to Lahore.

True.
M1 is same as M2. Last year I traveled myself on both.

Quality of all motorways are pretty much the same except the patches where fighter plane can land. M1 and M2 has 10 stretches of fighter plane landing and take off areas. we do not know about all other motorways. knowing Pak Military, I am sure they have some patches on all highways, exact location is anybody's guess.

Everybody knows. They are clear identification. They have extra build ups and central portions are temporary. can be removed..
