econews. The opening of Herat’s first underpass marks a symbolic and practical milestone for the city and its people. For many residents, this project is more than just a piece of infrastructure; it represents progress, connectivity, and a glimpse of a more organized urban future. As cars and motorcycles pass smoothly through the new tunnel, the streets above appear less crowded, making daily commutes faster and safer.
In the video, you can see families, shopkeepers, and young people gathering around the underpass, taking photos and recording videos to capture the moment. Their smiles and excitement reflect a deep sense of pride and hope. The improved traffic flow is expected to boost local businesses and make it easier for people to move between different parts of the city. For Herat, this underpass is not only a solution to congestion, but also a sign that urban development—even on a modest scale—can have a powerful impact on everyday life
