The M-1 Motorway between Islamabad and Peshawar, along with sections of the M-14 and GT Road, have been reopened to all types of traffic following an indefinite closure earlier this month. The closure was initially announced due to government pushback ahead of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) long march towards Islamabad, which was initially scheduled for September 27 but later postponed to October 4.
The restoration work on the M-14 motorway between Hakla and Kundal, as well as the loop connecting the M-1 motorway with the Hazara Motorway, is still underway. Traffic can now exit at Burhan Interchange, use the GT Road via Hasan Abdal, and rejoin the Hazara Expressway at Jhuri Kas Interchange while traveling from Islamabad to Abbottabad.
