Lowari Tunnel (Urdu: لواری سرنگ, Lowari Surang) consists of two separate tunnels, and the combined length of both tunnels is 10.4 kilometers (6.5 miles). It is a vehicular tunnel under the Lowari Pass of the Hindu Kush mountains, between Dir and Chitral in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. It is operated by the National Highway Authority and carries traffic on the N-45 National Highway, thus bypassing Lowari Pass. Construction was partly completed by June 2017,[3][4][5][6] By late 2018, the tunnel was open to vehicular traffic for at least ten hours per day.[7]
The total cost of the tunnel was Rs. 26.954 billion (US$93 million).[8] The tunnel is one of the longest tunnels in South Asia, and is the longest in Pakistan, superseding the 3.91 km (2.43 mi) Khojak Tunnel in 2018.
