The Kabul Municipality has announced the commencement of installing 72 precast frames for the Salangwat pedestrian overpass in front of the Kabul Governor’s office building. According to the municipality, the project is more than 50% complete and is scheduled to be finished and put into operation alongside the new connecting Joyshir road by the end of this year.<\/p>\n
Based on the information provided, after completing the foundation piles, the phase of installing the precast frames has started. Engineer Khush Mohammad Saihun, the project manager, stated that the bridge is designed to be 235 meters long, 18 meters wide, and 6.8 meters high, with a total of 472 meters of retaining walls.<\/p>\n
He added that the project is being implemented on six reinforced foundation piers by the Kabul Municipality’s Department of Labor, Maintenance, and Care. Moreover, the design includes a circular ramp with a radius of 33 meters and a length of 150 meters, intended to better regulate traffic flow.<\/p>\n
The bridge will have four lanes for both directions and will feature loop-shaped ramps to enable continuous vehicle movement without stops or traffic interference.<\/p>\n
Simultaneously, construction and expansion of the new connecting Joyshir road, stretching 783 meters long and 32 meters wide, from the Kabul Governor\u2019s office building to the machine house area, are ongoing. The Kabul Municipality states that once these projects are completed, traffic congestion on one of the city\u2019s busiest commercial routes will be reduced, and travel through Shahr-e Naw, Deh Afghanan, and other adjacent areas will improve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
