About Super Highway (M9 Motorway)
The Super Highway is a 136-km long 4-lane highway connecting the cities of Hyderabad and Karachi. The Super Highway is in the process of being upgraded into a 6-lane access-controlled motorway dubbed as M-9 Motorway. The M-9 Motorway project has an estimated cost of 42 Billion Rupees.
Since Motorways have fencing, the only way to enter or exit Motorway is through Interchanges. It will change dynamics of Super highway.
Below is list of Interchanges:
- Malir Interchange
- Dumba Goth Interchange
- Lucky cement Interchange
- Nooriabad Interchange
- Dadabhoy cement Interchange
- Thano Bula Khan Interchange
- Bolari Interchange
Two more interchanges which already existed on Super Highway will be upgraded to motorway standards, namely:
- Northern ByPass Interchange
- Eastern ByPass Interchange
