Louis Berger Group Picked for Afghan Infrastructure Contract
The U.S. Agency for International Development has awarded the Louis Berger Group, East Orange, N.J., a project management contract for a range of infrastructure work in war-battered Afghanistan. The key item in the program is designing and managing the reconstruction a severely damaged major highway, which runs from Kabul to Kandahar to Herat.
USAID didn't disclose the value of the contract, which was signed on Sept. 30, but not announced until Oct. 7. Funds must be approved by Congress.
