Peshawar Morr Interchange

Peshawar Morr Interchange (also known as G-9 interchange) is Pakistan's biggest interchange in Islamabad, Pakistan. The construction of interchange started in May 2014 along with the construction of Rawalpindi-Islamabad Metrobus but took longer to complete than anticipated. It cost almost 6 billion Rupees (60 million USD) to complete. Peshawar Morr interchange eased traffic congestion on two main highways of the Capital city i.e. Kashmir Highway and Ninth Avenue. It will also facilitate traffic to the New Islamabad International Airport (Now officially known as Liaquat Ali Khan International Airport) which is currently under construction and projected to be completed by August 2018 and to Lahore-Islamabad (M2) Motorway as well as to Peshawar-Islamabad (M1) Motorway.

The total length of the overhead, underground and ramp roads of the interchange is approximately 14 km and it features eight flyovers.[1]
