Project Goals

The project intends to enhance security across Southern Nahr-e Saraj, increase commercial activity and enable citizens to access key services and allow governance representatives to travel to their respective citizens.

This project will improve a key community road that, as a result of intimidation characterized by the insurgents influence, has fallen into serious disrepair. The enhancements of the road will increase in security by making it harder for insurgents to emplace improvised explosive devices on the road. This road provides vital access between communities and serves as a lifeline for the local economy. This road will facilitate significant local regeneration and vastly improved freedom of movement for 35,000 local nationals to access local education and health facilities as well as access to GIRoA services in Gereshk and Lashkar Gah. The fragile but steadily improving security across Southern Nahr-e Saraj is centered along improving freedom of movement: as ISAF and ANSF expand the security presence across the AO more villages now fall into a commuter belt which enables local communities to engage in a safe and secure manner. This intra-community activity is essential to promote improved commercial activity and to support emerging collaborative community development project work.

Updates

(07NOV11) - This is my number one road priority project in the TFH AO. The SOW and all supporting documentation have been revised to reflect the change in contsruction methods for this road. After successful placement of double bituminous surface treatment on Route Trident Extension, this wil be the HPRT/STRE surface of choice for district roads and below. - LT Adam Kushner
