Project Description

A road connecting the Bar Shultan Bridge (currently under construction) to the village of Chawgam

Project Goals

The more trafficable an area becomes, the more the populace has access to fundamental needs such as access to their government and medical facilities. Currently, the road in question is in too poor a condition for many vehicles to travel down, and requires widening in many areas, grading, reinforcing, and paving. Finally, and not to be overlooked, with such improvements, inevitably, economic infrastructure will develop throughout the valley as more and more people will be able to commute further to and from their residences. This will serve to evolve the communities into thriving, stable areas to live and work, all while allowing ANSF more access to kinetic area in order to confront and ACM in a timely manner.
