| Hill International selected for the Ring Road project in Afghanistan Hill International (NYSE:HIL), the global leader in managing construction risk, announced that it has received a contract from the Afghanistan Ministry of Public Works to provide project management and supervision consultant services in connection with a major roads project in Afghanistan. The four-year contract has an estimated value to Hill of approximately $37.0 million. The Qaisar-Laman Ring Road project, funded by the Asian Development Bank, involves the upgrading of a 233-kilometer (145-mile) section of the Ring Road between Andkhoy and Herat. Completion of this project will conclude the various reconstruction works on the nation's Ring Road and will fill a key gap in the regional transportation corridor, facilitating north-south commerce along Afghanistan's western border with Iran, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. Completion of the Qaisar-Laman section of the Ring Road will also widen access to markets and socio-economic opportunities for the inhabitants of the provinces of Badghis and Faryab, and support increased peace and order in these remote rural areas. write your comments about the article :: © 2011 Construction News :: home page |
