KABUL (BNA) In a bid to enhance the urban infrastructure of Kabul city, the Kabul Municipality has commenced the construction of a new bridge over the Kabul River, connecting Pul-e-Sokhta to Pul-e-Sorkh between the third and sixth districts.
Engineer Mohammad Dawood Zwab, the head of Kabul Municipality’s Roads and Bridges, provided details about the project, expressing optimism about the positive impact it will have on the city’s transportation system.
The new bridge, designed according to the urban infrastructure plan of Kabul Municipality, is being built to the highest standards.
It boasts a total length of 30 meters and a width of 20 meters, accommodating two lanes of traffic. This modern structure will facilitate smoother and more efficient movement of vehicles and pedestrians.

This road will complement the bridge, providing a seamless connection between the two districts.
The master plan aims to alleviate traffic congestion and improve accessibility for citizens, particularly along vital routes such as Barchi public road, 30-meter Karta-e-Chahar road, Goulai Dowakhana road, Kota-e-Sangi intersection, and Mirvis Maidan.
The Kabul Municipality’s initiative to invest in infrastructure development reflects its dedication to improving the quality of life for the people of Kabul.
