The M-10 motorway (Urdu: ایم ۱۰ موٹروے) or the Karachi Northern Bypass (Urdu: کراچی ناردرن بائی پاس) is a two-lane 57 km motorway in Manghopir Town, Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan.[1] It connects the M-9 motorway to the Karachi Port, and provides an easy access to the transporters and to the commuters who can go directly to the Karachi port without entering the main arteries of city.[2]
The M-10 begins north of Karachi at the end of Muhammad Ali Jinnah Road, near the junction of the M-9 to which it is connected through a trumpet interchange. It then continues north for a few kilometers before turning west, where it forms an interchange with the Super Highway Link Road, Surjani Town Road, Hub Dam Road, Shahrah-e-Qaddafi, Orangi Link Road, Ittehad Town Road, and then N-25. After this interchange, it eventually turns south back towards Karachi and merges onto the KPT Flyover at Karachi Port.
The contract for the construction work was awarded to M/s ECI in May 2002 for Rs. 645.17 million through open bidding.[3] The National Logistics Cell started the construction in June 2002, and completed it in 2007.[4] Yousaf Barakzai of the National Highway Authority served as the project director.[5] The project was inaugurated by President Pervez Musharraf on 6 August 2007 at a total cost of Rs. 3.5 billion.[6]
