The asphalting step of Herat-Chesht Sharif road begun

Herat: The first section of the Herat-Chesht Sharif road, which is 35-kilometer long, has been contracted between the Ministry of Public Works and a construction company for more than $ 23 million US dollars.

According to the Ministry of Public Works, Herat - Chesht Sharif road is a part of the east-west corridor whose asphalting work has recently begun and will be continued based on the project management action plan.

It’s noteworthy; the completion of this important and vital project will lead the eastern districts of Herat province to economic development; especially the Chesht Sharif district, where a huge scale mine of marble stone is located.

Otherwise, this new passage will become a safe & cheap route for the marbles’ transportation and it will have a huge positive impact on the demining process at the marbles’ mine of Chesht Sharif district.
