Hazara Motorway’s Abbottabad section opens

ABBOTTABAD: A section of the Hazara Motorway, from the Shah Maqsood Interchange to Abbottabad, was opened for traffic on Saturday.

The section of the motorway had been opened up to the Shah Maqsood interchange and later it was operational up to Mansehra but owing to an issue with toll tax for traffic coming from Islamabad and Peshawar — which had to exit on Shah Maqsood interchange and again enter on the motorway to continue the journey for Abbottabad and Manshera by paying an extra 30 rupees toll tax, the section had been temporarily closed.
