The Chinese-led Dasu hydropower project has recently reached a significant milestone with the completion of the first arch bridge on the Karakoram Highway (KKH). Situated over Dogah Nullah, the 78-meter-long Dogah Concrete Arch Bridge boasts a width of 11.3 meters, encompassing a 10-meter carriageway complemented by shoulders. The Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) hailed this achievement as a major breakthrough, as the current highway is set to be submerged once the Dasu reservoir is filled.
WAPDA emphasized that the newly completed bridge, constructed in adherence to China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) framework standards, is integral to the relocated KKH. This elevated route is being built to replace the existing one, ensuring uninterrupted road connectivity in the region post-reservoir completion.
