Construction of the support columns for the flyover at Baraki Intersection is progressing in accordance with technical and engineering standards under the supervision of the Directorate of Works Maintenance and Monitoring of Kabul Municipality, with work focused on preparing the site for the installation of the bridge’s main structural components.
Project Manager Engineer Obaidullah Elham stated that concrete pouring for the columns and the construction of reinforced column caps are currently underway. Upon completion of this phase, the project will be ready for the installation of the prefabricated bridge girders.
He added that the Baraki Intersection project has been designed in line with international standards and includes both a flyover and an underpass. The project is expected not only to reduce traffic congestion in the area but also to strengthen connectivity between central parts of the city and serve as a key transportation link between Kabul’s northern and western zones, contributing to sustainable growth, development, and urban beautification.
Construction of the underpass at Baraki Intersection began in Jawza 1404 under the supervision of the Directorate of Works Maintenance and Monitoring of Kabul Municipality. The project has so far achieved more than 80 percent completion and is expected to be finalized and opened for public use within the next four months.
Officials stated that the overall project is scheduled to be completed by the end of the current year.
The underpass, extending from the direction of Naderia High School toward the Traffic Intersection, measures 470 meters in length, 20 meters in width, and 5.5 meters in depth.
In addition, a flyover has been designed from Dahan-e Bagh Intersection toward Parwan Du Intersection. The structure will be 700 meters long, 20 meters wide, and 8 meters high, supported by 247 structural columns.
The total cost of the flyover and underpass project is estimated at approximately 1.5 billion Afghanis.
