Afghanistan : Transport Network Development Investment Program - Tranche 4

Objective

"Better connectivity and efficiency through a fully complete transport corridor traversing Badakhshan province to Tajikistan." - ADB

Description

The proposed Tranche 4 will reconstruct the remaining 108 km gap from Beharak to Eshkashim in the envisaged northeastern corridor, which starts at city of Kunduz and connects to the border crossing point with Tajikistan at Eshkashim. The completion of this road supports east west trade and indeed the development of Badhakshan province, one of Afghanistan's most inaccessible provinces.

History

The project was scheduled to complete in 2019. The schedule was revised to be 2021. It is unclear whether the project is operational.
