Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Spacers being hammered into position during a bridge construction by a Sapper from 21 Engineer Regiment.

Troops from 21 Engineer Regiment replaced an important bridge to assist the local population.

The bridge known as ‘Golden Egg’ links the main highways and local communities within the city of Gereshk in Nahr-e Saraj. The bridge helps the Afghanistan National Army (ANA) maintain communications and gives them the freedom to operate bringing further stability and security to the region.

The original bridge was blown-up by insurgents and replaced by the Danish who christened it ‘Golden Egg’, a traditional name given to a bridge made for armoured vehicles. The Danish bridge was temporary and 21 Engineer Regiment has now replaced it with a permanent structure.
