Semi-trucks haul goods to eastern Afghanistan along the narrow and dangerous “K-G Pass” that winds through steep mountains and connects Khowst and Paktia provinces, Feb. 25, 2009.
A $100 million, 100-kilometer improved road, funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development, is slated to start construction through the pass this summer.
Coalition forces will build and improve numerous other roads in Afghanistan in the next few years.
