Bridges and Railroads

A functional ground transportation infrastructure, including railroads and bridges, is essential in the facilitation of humanitarian assistance and the assurance of Iraq's economic wellbeing. Iraq's transportation infrastructure suffered severe neglect under the previous regime. A lack of investment and maintenance over the past two decades has led to widespread deterioration. The challenge now is to restore the transportation infrastructure to a level that allows the effective provision of humanitarian assistance and satisfies the transportation needs of Iraq’s citizens. As it rises to this challenge, USAID is ensuring that its transportation infrastructure projects support the determination of Iraq’s ministries to move passengers and goods quickly and effectively.
