KABUL, Afghanistan – The Ghazni Provincial Reconstruction Team traveled to Qarah Bagh district, Dec. 17, to inspect the status of the ongoing road project between Qarah Bagh city and Sanga Masha in Jaghuri district.
The road project, contracted with RWA Construction Company, covers 17 miles (28 kilometers) and connects the capitals of these two districts. This road project is a major priority for the Afghan government and the PRT, according to U.S. Navy Cmdr. John Doolittle, PRT commander.
“We are working closely with the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan to ensure this road project is completed before the end of the next construction season,” he added.
The RWA Construction Company has committed to completing the road by June 2011.
The road will provide access from the Jaghuri capital to Highway 1, part of GIRoA’s objective to connect each district center with the highway that rings the country.
