This idea entails setting aside land in pakistan to build a long trade corridor into afghanistan. Ideally this "road" will be as straight as possible, but also include 2 lanes for trains, and perhaps multiple pipelines, for oil, water, gas whatever. Lanes for road traffic included as well, probably
three each way.
Such a trade route would provide windfall for both Afghanistan and Pakistan. Overpasses for local traffic will be of course necessary.

The Opium Road? Does that make this a pipe dream? |

It looks rather bomb-able to me; all-eggs-in-one-basket infrastructure makes a tempting target. |
