Makran Coastal Highway
The Makran Coastal Highway, also known as National Highway 10 (N-10), is a major roadway in Pakistan that stretches approximately 653 kilometers along the Arabian Sea coastline from Karachi in Sindh province to Gwadar in Balochistan province. Completed in 2004, this highway was constructed to enhance connectivity and boost economic activity in the region. It passes through key coastal towns such as Ormara and Pasni, offering breathtaking views of the sea and rugged mountains. The highway has significantly reduced travel time between Karachi and Gwadar, making the journey more efficient and safer. It plays a crucial role in the development of the Gwadar Port, which is a pivotal part of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). The Makran Coastal Highway not only facilitates trade and transportation but also promotes tourism by providing access to some of Pakistan’s most scenic coastal landscapes. Its construction has been instrumental in transforming the economic landscape of the region, linking remote areas with major urban centers and fostering growth and development.
