Route 515 (Afghanistan)

Route 515 is a highway in Afghanistan, connecting primarily the province of Herat with various districts and smaller settlements. Its specific path and condition can vary due to ongoing construction, security concerns, and environmental factors common in the region. It serves as a vital transportation corridor for both commercial and civilian traffic, facilitating the movement of goods, services, and people. The road's maintenance and security are frequently challenged by the mountainous terrain, seasonal weather, and the presence of insurgent groups, requiring ongoing efforts from both Afghan and international forces. The condition of the route can fluctuate significantly, ranging from paved sections to rough, unpaved stretches, influencing travel times and logistical considerations. The route is strategically important for connecting remote areas to larger population centers and regional trade routes.
