The Karachi–Lahore Motorway (KLM) is a 1,152-kilometre-long (716 mi) under construction six-lane, high-speed, limited-access motorway that will connect Karachi and Lahore, and by extension Islamabad and Peshawar. The highway will pass also connect major cities including Hyderabad Faisalabad and Multan.[1]

It was devised in the early 1990s as a combination of the M3 Motorway, M4 motorway, M5 Motorway, M6 Motorway and M9 Motorway. It is now considered a major component of the China Pakistan Economic Corridor, and will cost approximately $6.6 billion, with the bulk of financing to be distributed by various Chinese state-owned banks.[2]
