The Taliban’s Public Works Department has announced the signing of a contract to fundamentally rebuild 15 kilometers of the Salang Highway in the southern Salang area with a construction and road-building company. This project covers a crucial section of the Salang transit route.<\/p>\n
According to the department, the total cost of the project is estimated at approximately 1.252 billion Afghanis, and practical work is set to begin soon. No further information has been provided regarding the exact completion date or details about the contracting company.<\/p>\n
The Salang Highway is considered one of the most important routes connecting the north and south of the country, and any reconstruction along this route can directly impact commercial and transit traffic. However, residents and drivers have consistently emphasized the need for transparent oversight of work quality and the use of public funds.<\/p>\n
In recent years, this highway has faced serious challenges due to deterioration, traffic accidents, and frequent closures during the winter season. It is expected that the Taliban administration will share further details with the public regarding the monitoring mechanisms and quality assurance for this project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
