The E-75 Expressway[2] or Murree Expressway (Urdu: مری بزرگراه) (also known as the Islamabad-Murree Expressway)[3] is a four-lane partially operational controlled-access expressway in Pakistan,[4] linking Islamabad to Murree.
The project was planned in 2000 during Pervez Musharraf's government. However, work only started in 2008. It was inaugurated by Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gillani on 30 August 2011.[5]
