Lowari Tunnel – Construction Work Expected To Complete In Three Years - Salman - 10-23-2013 12:23 PM
Islamabad – The construction work on Lowari Tunnel project is in progress. It is expected that the work will be completed in three years.
The work on Lowari Tunnel Project was commenced in September 2005 and by January 2009, excavation of 8150 metres tunnel was completed. Owing to the conversion of project from rail tunnel to road tunnel, additional excavation is being carried out to widen the tunnel.
This tunnel will provide an access to Central Asian Republics and Afghanistan and it will also facilitate tourism and trade. The provincial government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has decided to allocate Rs 3 billion for early completion of current projects, including the Lowari Tunnel project.
