Summary[edit]
Description39 Armoured Engineer Squadron Build a Bridge Across the Nahr-e-Bughra Canal, Afghanistan MOD 45154592.jpg |
English: Engineers from 39 Armoured Engineer Squadron (39 AES), 3 Commando Brigade, part of the Task Force Helmand (TFH) Engineering Group cross a bridge during construction over the Nahr-e Bughra canal in Helmand province, Afghanistan.
The bridge, which is the largest to be built in Helmand province to date, is a logistics support bridge that is 4.2 meters wide, 45 meters long and can withstand traffic weighing more than 80 tons. The engineers of 39 AES completed the project in only six days, working close to 18 hours each day while wearing full body armor in temperatures reaching 130 degrees Fahrenheit. Before the bridge was built, there was no major crossing of the NEB canal. Locals were forced to use a narrow tunnel that could only allow small vehicles such as motorcycles to pass through. The width of the bridge allows farmers who live on the southern side of the bridge to take their cattle, tractors and other vehicles to their farmland located on the northern side of the bridge with ease. In addition to improving local commerce, the bridge also serves as a deterrent for insurgent forces trying to get into the community south of the bridge.
