The M9 begins north of Karachi at the end of Mohammad Ali Jinnah Road, near junction of Karachi Northern Bypass (also known as M10). It is connected with the Karachi Northern Bypass with a trumpet interchange. Then it continues out of the city. From there it continues on a north-east track and forms a junction with the N5 via a link road. Once out of Karachi it enters the Desert of Thar. The motorway ends outside of Hyderabad, in the suburban town of Kotri with a cloverleaf interchange. From there it merges onto the N5.

The M9 was conceived by deposed Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in his first term but was not inaugurated until 2007, by President Pervez Musharraf.
