KABUL, Feb. 22 (Xinhua) -- The reconstruction work for the railway connecting Afghanistan to neighboring Uzbekistan kicked off on Wednesday, the state-run Bakhtar news agency reported Thursday.
Built more than a decade ago, the railway had been badly damaged due to conflicts and civil strife.
The 75-km railway project would be completed in three months at a cost of 6.3 million U.S. dollars, the report said.
Although the war-torn Afghanistan does not have central railway networks to connect national capital Kabul to provinces onward to neighboring nations, some of its provinces have been connected by neighbors' railway networks. ■
