Construction of East-Bay Expressway is connecting Mekran Coastal Highway (N-20) with Free Trade Zone of Gwadar Port.

While the Development of Information Technology (IT) Infrastructure would work for the implementation of E-Commerce.

The work is also in progress on Pak-China Technical and Vocational Institute at Port City Gwadar
