Today's NYT on the Web says that the Kabul-Kandahar road had been repaved and reopened, cutting the journey from 30ish to 6ish hours --> if, that is, the Taliban don't get you on the way.
This is apparently one segment of a "ring road" the US built in the 1960s. I once worked with a data center operations manager who got "remoted" to 3rd shift for telling the Vice President, after one of the latter's dumb requests:
Anything your want [name withheld].
You tell me to dig a hole, I dig a hole.
You tell me to fill it up again, I fil it up again.
Anything you want, Sir!\brad mccormick
