Deep within Kandahar Province, coalition forces are building an all-weather road to connect the villages in the Horn of Panjwa'i, one of the most dangerous places in Kandahar Province. The construction of "Route Hyena" aims to replace a dangerous patchwork of trails and loosely-connected roads. When it is completed it will grant much greater access to bazaars, markets and to Kandahar City. However, not everyone wants this road and security remains a constant consideration. Despite the threat of random gunfire and roadside bombs the gravel trucks continue to come every day.
