Inquiry Letter: Maintenance of DoD Funded Afghan Roads

Abstract

The United States and other donor countries have reportedly invested $4 billion in the reconstruction of Afghan roads. As you know, the United States provided a significant proportion of those funds. The U.S. Agency for International Development has invested over a billion dollars in road projects, and the Department of Defense (DOD) has provided hundreds of millions of dollars more. Following conversations that I had during my trip to Afghanistan fast fall, I'm concerned that the U.S. government may be supporting road projects in Afghanistan that will be unsustainable due to not being properly maintained.
