Route
Hassan Abdal-Havelian section
The 110 km long, 6 lane motorway, will begin its route at its southernmost portion - the Burhan Interchange which will be located to the west of Hasan Abdal near the village of Koliya on the banks of the Haro River in northern Punjab province. The route tracks northeast, and crosses the Haro River. The Jharikass Interchange will be located immediately east of the river, where the expressway will intersect with the N-35 National Highway. The expressway will continue eastwards, where it will connect to Haripur Road via the Hattar Interchange near the town of Kot Najibullah. From there it will continue towards east to N-125 National Highway, which it will connect via the Chechiyan Interchange, 6 miles south of Haripur - thus serving as a bypass and alternative route to the N-35 National Highway which courses directly through the city of Haripur. The expressway will further continue eastwards for 2 miles before turning northeast towards the town of Shah Maqsood, where the Shah Maqsood Interchange will connect the motorway, for a second time, with the N-35 National Highway. From there the highway will run roughly parallel to the N-35 National Highway as it travels northeast towards the city of Havelian. At the confluence of the Dor River and the Salhad Nalah, the Havelian Interchange will connect the motorway with the N-35 National Highway for direct access to the heart of Havelian.
Havelian-Thakot section
The motorway then course northwards along the N-35 National Highway towards Abbottabad, Mansehra, and Shinkiari, ending at Thakot.
