The Road to Afghanistan
Quetta-Pishin-Chaman-Kandhar road, Railway track to Chaman also visible.
It is actually an ancient trade route.. once Brits occupied this area, Chaman was one the most modern border outposts and people of Pishin were trading in horses as far away as Australia (imperial Gazetteer of India)
Shot somewhere around Pishin.

Mansehra-Thakot will be access controlled, separated by a median and grade-separated.
It won't be access control after Mansehra. Actually it would be a 2 lane highway on a virgin alignment after Mansehra till a place after Battagram. After Battagram, it will be upgrade of existing KKH instead of new road.
Please keep in mind that access control motorway is not always required. After Battagram, populated areas are very less and traffic is greatly reduced.
Hence for next 10-15 years, this road is likely to suffice the requirement. We can have the example of Murree Expressway, which is not access controlled, but still it is quite beneficial for ppl going to Murree.
In a similar case, there are people talking of motorway in Baluchistan not being 4, 6 lane or access controlled. The fact is that there is too less traffic and population in Baluchistan. Sometimes, no other vehicle is seen for miles.
Therefore, going for proper 6 lane motorway would be an overkill (at least for time being).
