The Hakla–Dera Ismail Khan Motorway (Urdu: ہکلہ–ڈیره اسماعیل خان موٹروے), formally known as the Brahma Bahtar–Yarik Motorway, is a four-lane North-South motorway currently under-construction in Pakistan. The 280-kilometre-long (170 mi) motorway is being developed as part of the Western Alignment of the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor. The expressway / motorway includes provision of 11 interchanges, 19 flyovers (6 lanes), 15 bridges (4 lane), 74 underpasses, 259 culverts, and three major bridges (6 lane); one at River Sawan, one at River Indus and third at River Koram.The expressway will have 100m wide right of way (ROW) to convert the four (04) lane facility to six (06) lanes in future.
Groundbreaking ceremony took place in May 2016. The four-lane controlled access motorway will extend from the Hakla Interchange on the M1 Motorway, near Fateh Jang in Punjab, to Dera Ismail Khan in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
