M-7 motorway (Pakistan)
Planned road in Pakistan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The M7 is a planned motorway between Dadu and Hub. The highway is part of the north–south route from Islamabad to Karachi and forms the southernmost part of this route from Ratodero to Karachi in about 540 kilometres (340 mi).
The M-10 motorway is being upgraded to an 8-lane motorway (34km) from ICI Bridge to Hamdard University Chowk Madinat al-Hikmah.[1]
Further M-10 will be extended to a new 134km long Motorway constructed through the Khirthar mountain range, connecting to the M-6 Motorway at Jamshoro.[1]
Alignment
At the town of Ratodero (near Sukkur) the M5 from Multan has to merge into the M7, while crossing the M8, the highway to Gwadar at the border with Iran. The M7 then runs south along the Indus River and serves several cities, of which Larkana is the most important. However, this last route must pass through the Kirthar Range, a low mountain range.
