Gwadar: The federal government has approved the construction of Gwadar Eastbay Expressway Phase II, linking the New Gwadar International Airport (NGIA) directly to Gwadar Port, according to recent reports.
The decision was taken during the 8th Joint Working Group (JWG) meeting on Gwadar under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). Under the Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP), PKR 200 million has been allocated for the initiative.
The 13.8-kilometre, six-lane dual carriageway—estimated to cost PKR 30.13 billion—will be built by China Harbour Engineering Company Ltd (CHEC), with 95% of funding provided through a Chinese CPEC grant. The project will also feature a toll plaza, drainage systems, lighting, fencing, and security towers.
Once completed, the road will create a fast, dedicated cargo link from NGIA to the existing Eastbay Expressway, enhancing Gwadar’s port connectivity and operational efficiency. Phase I of the Eastbay Expressway, a 19-kilometre route, was inaugurated on June 3, 2022, as the main artery for port traffic under CPEC.
