Frontier Highways
Authority
History
The Frontier Highways Authority was established on August
29, 2001 through NWFP Ordinance No. XIX of 2001. The
basic idea of its creation was to Conceive, Plan, and
Ensure the Construction, Improvement, Maintenance, and
Repair of Provincial Highways and Roads. It will also
undertake other communication projects as indicated
by the Government of NWFP.
Initially Eight roads with a total Length
of 1988 Km were given the status of Provincial Highways.
Later on, some of the Provincial Highways were federalized
and handed over to the NHA while some more roads were
declared as Provincial Highways. Presently, FHA is
custodian of 15 Provincial Highways with a total length
of 2177 Kms.
