The M-14 Motorway, also known as the Islamabad–Dera Ismail Khan Motorway (اسلام آباد – ڈیره اسماعیل خان موٹروے) and the Hakla–Yarik Motorway, is a four-lane north–south motorway in Pakistan. The 285-kilometre-long (177 mi) motorway is a part of the Western Alignment of the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor,[2][3] and offers high speed road connections between the Islamabad-Rawalpindi metropolitan area, and the southern parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province around Dera Ismail Khan.

The motorway was originally planned to open at the end of 2018, but due to delays, was inaugurated on 5 January 2022.[4][5]
