About Delaram–Zaranj Highway project

The Delaram-Zaranj Highway also known as Route 606 or A71 is a 218 km roadway in the Nimruz Province of Afghanistan connecting the Delaram District in Afghanistan to the northern border of Iran. The opposite way goes towards the south near Zaranj, Afghanistan.

From Zaranj, the highway connects to Zabol across the border in Iran. Zabol is well-connected by road to the Port of Chabahar.
Totally financed by India, the highway project was completed in 2009 with a cost of $152 million USD.
It is one of the busiest roads in Afghanistan and provides an important trade route between Iran and the rest of Asia.
The highway thus provides land-locked Afghanistan an alternative way to access the Arabian Sea and the Persian Gulf, instead of relying solely on the unstable Pakistani routes.
