Soviet-era road–rail bridge / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Afghanistan–Uzbekistan Friendship Bridge is a road–rail bridge across the Oxus River in Central Asia, connecting the town of Hairatan in Afghanistan with the town of Termez in Uzbekistan.[1] It was built by the Soviet Union (connected with the erstwhile Uzbek SSR) and opened in 1982 as a military supply route during the Soviet–Afghan War.[2] Today, it is used for trade and travel purposes between the two independent countries.
