M-1 to have modern 16-lane toll plaza

A 16-lane toll plaza at Islamabad Interchange of Peshawar-Islamabad Motorway (M-1) is being planned by National Highway Authority (NHA) to build.

“The new toll plaza will be constructed about 300 meters distance from Fathejang Interchange.” According to an official of the NHA.

He said, “Presently a temporary toll plaza has been set-up after segregation of M-1 and M-2 toll following handing over of M-1 to Frontier Works Organization (FWO) on Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) basis.”

It is worth to mention that motorists and commuters have been demanding construction of a modern toll plaza at the exit point of M-1 at Islamabad as due to non-availability a proper plaza smooth flow of traffic could not be ensured.
