Heavy transport vehicles (HTVs) such as buses, coasters, and trucks will not be able to use the road and will have to use the stellar Karakoram Highway instead unless the local administration directs otherwise.
The development is good for the region in terms of the maintenance of the flow of traffic between lower Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Gilgit-Baltistan, but many tourists and disappointed locals protested against the decision at Zero Point, Chillas. They demanded that the administration open the Babusar-Naran road for HTVs as well so that the traffic on the Karakoram Highway does not have to bear the brunt of the HTV traffic.
