Hazara Motorway or M-15 Motorway is a 180 kilometer controlled-access motorway linking the Burhan Interchange near Hasan Abdal in Punjab province with Haripur, Havelian, Abbottabad, Mansehra, Shinkiari, Battagram, and Thakot in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
The project is divided into 7 packages; the first four (from Burhan to Mansehra) are already completed and were inaugurated on 27 December 2017 & 18 November 2019. The motorway is not being financed by the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, but will instead be financed by the Asian Development Bank,[2] along with a ₨10.021 billion (US$71 million) grant from the United Kingdom.
Syed Zaheer ul Islam (Commissioner Hazara Division) said that 78.78 percent work has been completed on Mansehra to Thakot section. This section would likely to be completed by end of May 2020 depends on COVID-19.
The motorway starts from Havelian, passes through Abbottabad, Mansehra and Shinkiari, and ends at Thakot. The motorway has five tunnels two at Abbottabad and one each at Battal, Karmong and Mansehra. Up to Mansehra, its 39 km portion is six-lane controlled access portion while the remaining 79 km will be four lane road
