Restoring 300 miles of Highway 1
Reconstruction for the country’s principal road system is the key to Afghanistan’s economic recovery. Rebuilding the transportation infrastructure will enable the movement of people, aid resources, and farm and trade goods–all essential to Afghanistan’s development. The United States has provided about $190 million through USAID, to reconstruct the 300-mile segment of the highway.
