The Kabul–Jalalabad Road is a highway running between the Afghan cities of Kabul (the national capital) and Jalalabad, the largest city in eastern Afghanistan and capital of Nangarhar Province.

Because of the many traffic accidents, the road between Jalalabad and Kabul is considered to be one of the most dangerous in the world.[1][2]

It is a large part of the Afghan leg of the Grand Trunk Road, and was rebuilt by Pakistan after the fall of the Taliban.
