The '''National Highway 05''' or the '''N-5''' is [[Pakistan|Pakistan's]] longest highway running from the port city of [[Karachi]] to the border crossing at [[Torkham]]. Its total length is 1756&nbsp;km<ref>[http://www.nha.gov.pk/OLDSITE/FAQ/Faq.asp National Highway Authority]</ref> and it runs north from [[Karachi]] located in [[Sindh]] province to [[Hyderabad, Sindh|Hyderabad]], [[Moro, Pakistan|Moro]] and [[Khairpur, Pakistan|Khairpur]] before crossing into [[Punjab (Pakistan)|Punjab]] province where it passes through [[Multan]], [[Sahiwal]], [[Lahore]], [[Sheikhupura District]], [[Gujranwala]], [[Gujrat city|Gujrat]], [[Jhelum (city)|Jhelum]] and [[Rawalpindi]]. At Rawalpindi, it turns eastwards and passes through [[Attock Khurd]] before crossing the [[Indus River]] into [[Khyber Pakhtunkhwa]] to continue through [[Nowshera, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa|Nowshera]] and [[Peshawar]] before entering the [[Khyber Pass]] and reaching the border town of Torkham. Its total length is divided into 1021&nbsp;km in [[Punjab (Pakistan)|Punjab]], 671&nbsp;km in Sindh, 127&nbsp;km in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the remaining 38&nbsp;km in the [[Federally Administered Tribal Areas]] (FATA). It is managed by [[National Highway Authority (Pakistan)|National Highway Authority]].

== History ==
{{main|Grand Trunk Road}}
Part of the highway was built on the ancient [[Grand Trunk Road]] (commonly known as G.T. Road) which came under jurisdiction of the new state after the [[partition of India]]. Thus developments of this road took place and in 1990s, the road was converted in an international standard highway.

== New G.T. Road ==
In Pakistan, the old GT Road ends at [[Peshawar]] in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. There were some routes in Pakistan which were known as GT Road Multan Road ([[Lahore]] to [[Multan]]), Rahim Yar Road ([[Bahawalpur]] to [[Rahim Yar Khan]]) and Karachi road ([[Sukkur]] to Karachi). [[National Highway Authority (Pakistan)|NHA]] planned to combine these roads into one highway, thus N-5, or NEW G.T. Road came into existence. A huge upgrade took place on these routes in mid-1990s and N-5 was converted into a 4 lane, 1819&nbsp;km long highway. N-5 is now Pakistan's longest and most important highway.
