Bridges in Ghazni Province, Afghanistan: All Eight Bridges We Visited Were in Good Condition

Abstract

I am writing to inform you of the results of site visits to verify the locations and conditions of eight DOD-funded bridge projects in Ghazni province, Afghanistan. The eight bridges were constructed or rehabilitated using funds from the Commander's Emergency Response Program (CERP) between 2009 and 2012. We found that the location information maintained in DOD systems was accurate; all eight bridges were within one kilometer of their recorded coordinates. We also found that all eight bridges were open, in good condition and that local community members regard them as being very useful to the local communities. This is the third in a series that discusses our findings from site visits to bridge projects that were built or repaired using CERP funds. The other two provinces were Baghlan (SIGAR 18-70-SP) and Kabul (SIGAR 19-08-SP). With the exception of two bridges in Baghlan Province all the bridges covered by these three reports were in good condition.
