It contains approximately 26 kms of Additional Carriageway from Kotri Kabir to Ranipur and from Therhi to Baberlo along the existing alignment. A 45.3 kms dual carriageway provided between Ranipur and Therhi along the realigned stretch of National Highway N-5 and 2.1 km for Baberlo bypass at the end. The entire section of the project is located in Khairpur district and passes through or close to some major population centres e.g. Hangorja, Ranipur and Gambat. Each carriageway is 7.3 meters wide pavement with outer and inner shoulders of 3m and 1m respectively. Structural works include 3 Bridges 4-Lane (71 metres), and 1 Bridge 2-Lane (20 metres) and 173 culverts of different types.

The project section located in the northern Punjab province, extends through Kharian and Jehlum districts. Total length of this section of the road is 62.5 km (additional carriageway) of N-5 with major bridges over river Jehlum, Dina and Bakrala. 6 Bridges (1,595 metres) and 5 Overhead Bridges were also the part of this project.

Indus Highway Phase I & II comprises the Rehabilitation of 58 km Kotri- Manjhand section in Sindh and 36 km Karak- Karappa section in NWFP. The last phase of the construction connects the three provinces of Sindh, Punjab and the Frontier. Due to the difficulties faced in the rehabilitation of the existing Phase-I and Phase-II roads, it was decided that 450 km Phase-III roads would be constructed on totally new alignment. The alignment passes through the cities of Rajanpur, Dera Ghazi Khan in Punjab and Dera Ismail Khan in N.W.F.P.

This Project (Phase I, II & III) includes design of 70 main Bridges, 20 Overhead Bridges, several drainage structures including 50 box culverts, some overpasses across the railway track and a toll plaza.

The project work consists of rehabilitation and improvement of D.I.Khan to Mughal Kot Road (125 km) section of National Highway (N-50) between D.I.Khan to Zhob, passing through D.I.Khan district and FATA, at a foot of Kohe-Suleman Range. It is an inter province link between NWFP` and Balochistan. Since D.I.Khan to D.G.Khan is flood prove area, therefore this route will also provide an alternative link between NWFP and Karachi during the flood period. This Project includes 11 Bridges & 323 Culverts.

The existing road is a single lane and shall be improved into a proper two-lane carriageway. The road shall play the significant role in the future development of the area.
