EspañolAFGHANISTAN–UZBEKISTAN FRIENDSHIP BRIDGE
(Redirected from Afghanistan-Uzbekistan Friendship Bridge)
The 'Afghanistan–Uzbekistan Friendship Bridge' is a bridge built over the river Amu Darya connecting the Uzbek city of Termez with the city of Jeyretan in the Balkh Province in northern Afghanistan. It was built by the Soviet Army in 1982 to supply its troops in Afghanistan.
It is the only way across the Uzbek–Afghan border, the nearest bridge across the Amu Darya being at Kelif, some 120 kilometers (74.5 mi) to the west, crossing the Turkmen-Afghan border.
The bridge was closed in May 1997 when the Taliban forces took control of the city of Mazari Sharif, forcing Uzbek rebels to retreat back to Uzbekistan. It reopened on December 9, 2001.
