Gilgit Shandoor Road: Project forming part of the Gilgit-Shandoor-Chitral road would provide an alternative route to the CPEC. Detail design and feasibility study of the Shandoor-Chitral section has been completed. The new road will be an all-weather road so that it could facilitate the CPEC route during the winter season as well. It will provide another route to Chitral other than the Lowari Tunnel. The estimated cost of the 345-kilometer (Gilgit-Shandoor-Chitral) road will be almost Rs45 billion.
Stage: Feasibility Study & Preliminary Design
Number of Bridges: 16 No’s
Mapping: Surface Geological Mapping, Borrow area study
Test Pits: 67 No’s
Geotechnical Investigation & Geological Mapping: Geoengineers conducted excavation of 67 No. of test pits and electrical resistivity survey for 16 No’s of bridges at Gilgit Shandoor Road. Geological mapping and borrow area study was also conducted.
