Ministry of National Defense Reopens Bamyan-Parwan-Kabul Main Road After Floods
KABUL (Afghan Verified) — The Ministry of National Defense announced the reopening of the main road linking Bamyan, Parwan, and Kabul after it was blocked by heavy rains and floods.
The closure occurred in the Shinwari district of Ghorband Pass in Parwan province, disrupting a vital transit route between the three provinces. The blockage directly impacted public travel and transport, according to the ministry's statement.
Technical and machinery teams from the Ministry of National Defense responded promptly to the site. They cleared debris, repaired damage, and prepared the road for safe traffic flow, the ministry's media office said in a press release accompanied by video footage.
The Bamyan-Parwan-Kabul road serves as a key artery for movement of people and goods across central Afghanistan. Its restoration restores normal connectivity for residents and travelers in the affected areas.
No further details on the extent of flood damage or timelines for potential future closures were provided in the announcement.
