The Lakpass Tunnel and Toll Plaza constitute a critical infrastructure project in Balochistan, Pakistan, managed by the Frontier Works Organization (FWO). Located approximately 27 km south of Quetta, the tunnel facilitates traffic flow on the N-25 (Karachi-Quetta-Chaman) and N-40 (Quetta-Noshki-Taftan) highways, connecting Quetta with Southern Balochistan, Gwadar, Karachi, and Iran. 

Key Details

Completion: The project was completed by FWO in November 2008.

Purpose: The tunnel bypasses the old Lakpass route, which had a steep 15% gradient that hindered heavy traffic.

Operations: FWO is responsible for the Operations & Maintenance (O&M) of the tunnel and toll plaza to ensure year-round, safe, and efficient traffic flow.

Location: The facility is situated on the N-25 highway near Mastung.

Significance: It is considered one of the largest toll plazas in Balochistan in terms of traffic and area. 

Recent updates indicate that the FWO carries out maintenance, including relaying road surfaces (ACWC overlay) to improve riding quality. During winter, staff are deployed to manage snowfall and ensure the route remains open.
