The Gilgit–Shandur Road (Urdu: گلگت – شندور سڑک) is 212 km provincial highway of Gilgit-Baltistan linking Gilgit with Shandur. From Shandur, the road continues and crosses into Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, where it becomes the Chitral–Shandur Road or KP Highway 2.[1] In 2013, the Gilgit-Baltistan Legislative Assembly unanimously passed a resolution demanding that both the roads be "renamed" to a single Gilgit–Chitral Road and be upgraded.[2]
Update 2020: It's now a part of the National Highway network, identified as N-140
