The rail section Atamyrat – Imamnazar (Turkmenistan) – Aqina (Afghanistan) was officially opened on 28 November 2016. This section has a total length of 88 km, of which 85 km in Turkmenistan and 3 km in Afghanistan.
The border point Imamnazar – Aqina is the second point of direct connection between Turkmenistan and Afghanistan (the first one is Serkhetabat – Towraghondi) and it allows direct delivery of freight by rail from Turkmenistan to Afghanistan, by avoiding any transit through Uzbekistan.
The construction of the next railway section in Afghanistan, from Aqina to Andkhoy, and subsequently the section Adkhoy – Pyandzh, in the North of Afghanistan, is planned in the near future. The total length of the new section will be approximately 400 km. The estimate cost of the project is USD 400 million.
