Project Goals
To construct a rectangular beams bridge with two 3.7m lands, one 1.2m sidewalk, bridge railings on both sides. This bridge will enhance economic development of Khost by allowing increased movement of goods and vehicles throughout the province. The bridge will also enhance valuable agriculture markets, and increase the flow of construction materials and farmers markets to broader trade and commerce opportunities. By connecting roadways in central Matun near the Pakistan border, the new bridge will increase the capacity of the government by allowing provincial and district officials ease of travel to and from the capitol and other areas of the province. It will also significantly decrease response time for moving critically ill or injured residents from the district to central provincial advanced health care facilities for treatment. Currently, when the waddies flood, people have no way to cross to the connecting roads. The bridge will allow for year-around traffic flow. The continual flow of traffic will enhance economic development, governance, and emergency services. The bridge is the number one priority of the 8 bridges on the PDC priority list and has been passed by the Provincial Development Committee (PDC). The life expectancy of this bridge is 20 years, and the estimated recurring annual operations and maintenance costs for this bridge is $1000/44400 AFG. The Director of Public Works has the capability to sustain this project and the sustainment cost associated with it.
