Tajikistan–Afghanistan bridge at Panji Poyon

The Tajikistan-Afghanistan bridge at Panji Poyon is a steel and concrete structure spanning across the Panj River between two border communities. It features two vehicle lanes and accommodates standard cross-border traffic for regular movement between the nations.

This crossing was constructed in the early 2000s as a major infrastructure project to create a permanent link between the two countries. International support made the project possible, transforming how people access this remote border region.

The bridge connects communities on both sides of the Panj River, serving as a vital meeting point for families and traders who cross regularly. It represents a shared space where daily interactions between Tajik and Afghan peoples occur naturally.

Vehicles cross the bridge during regular border checkpoint hours on both sides. Check current opening schedules before planning your crossing, as times can shift due to regional conditions or border procedures.

This is one of the few permanent crossings along this border section where the river is otherwise difficult to traverse. Its presence has fundamentally changed daily life for isolated communities on both sides of the waterway.
