The project would link Gwadar to Rato Dero via Turbat, Hoshab, Awaran, Khuzdar and Shahdadkot, he added. The work on Gwadar-Turbat and Turbat-Hoshab sections of the project has been completed that was launched in October 2004, he informed.
The governor expressed satisfaction over the pace of work on the project and expressed the hope that it would be completed within the scheduled time period.
The completion of the highway would not only link Gwadar port with the interior areas of the country, but also facilitate transportation of goods, he said, and added that it would also improve the travelling facility and create job opportunities.
