Jaglot-Skardu Road: FWO’s Engineering Marvel

Amid the rugged mountains of Gilgit-Baltistan, travel was once arduous. The Frontier Works Organization (FWO) transformed this challenge into opportunity by constructing the Jaglot-Skardu Road. Initially awarded to a foreign firm for PKR 52 billion in 2015, the project faced setbacks. In 2017, FWO completed it with unmatched expertise for just PKR 31 billion. Spanning 167 km with 28 bridges, it reduced travel time from 12 hours to 3. Despite harsh conditions, FWO ensured maintenance, sacrificing over 20 lives in the process. This road now symbolizes hope and prosperity.
