Road Junction to Taunsa Barrage just North of Shahdan Lund

I couldn’t find the exact kilometer marker for this junction point. Help is sought from readers. If one is traveling on Indus Highway then a short detour to east to visit Taunsa barrage may not be a bad idea.
Taunsa barrage is the last barrage on Indus in Punjab province as the waters flow downstream to Sindh province. It was completed in 1958. A photo of Taunsa barrage is shown below. It is a multipurpose construction with road and rail bridges as well as a hydel power station.

Taunsa is also the location of one of the notable structures on the Indus River called Taunsa Barragelocated several kilo metres south of Taunsa city. It was designated a Ramsar site on March 22, 1996. The Taunsa Barrage was completed in 1958, and it has been identified as the barrage with the highest priority for rehabilitation. It requires urgent measures to avoid severe economic and social impacts on the lives of millions of poor farmers through interruption of irrigation on two million acres (8,000 km²) and drinking water in the rural areas of southern Punjab, benefiting several million farmers. In 2003, the World Bank approved a $123 million loan to Pakistan to rehabilitate the Taunsa Barrage on the River Indus whose structure had been damaged owing to soil erosions and old-age. The project was designed to ensure irrigation of the cultivated lands in the area of theMuzaffargarh^[2] and Dera Ghazi Khan Tehsil^[3] canals, and through the Taunsa-Panjnad Link Canal that supplements the water supply to Panjnad head-works canals.
