<p><b>Afghanistan: First Layer of Asphalt Laid Over Compacted Gravel Base on Kabul-Kandahar Road</b>
</p>
Reconstruction of 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 a 300-mile segment of Highway 1.
