KABUL, Feb. 9 (Xinhua) -- The Afghan caretaker government's Ministry of Public Works has signed road construction contracts with two companies worth 713 million afghani (more than 9.6 million U.S. dollars), a spokesman for the ministry said on Sunday.

With a length of 49 km, the road will link the eastern province of Wardak to the neighboring province of Logar, Mohammad Ashraf Haqshenas, spokesman for the ministry, said on social media.
