New G.T. Road
In Pakistan, the old GT Road ends at Peshawar in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. There were some routes in Pakistan which were known as GT Road Multan Road (Lahore to Multan), Rahim Yar Road (Bahawalpur to Rahim Yar Khan) and Karachi road (Sukkur to Karachi). NHA planned to combine these roads into one highway, thus N-5, or NEW G.T. Road came into existence. A huge upgrade took place on these routes in mid-1990s and N-5 was converted into a 4 lane, 1819 km long highway. N-5 is now Pakistan's longest and most important highway.
