The Anzob Pass to the south, about north of Dushanbe at roughly , is one of the most treacherous mountain passes of Central Asia. On October 23, 1997, an avalanche killed 46 people, burying 15 trucks and cars. The avalanche was so large that it took two weeks for the would-be rescuers to reach the victims. Due to the importance of the route connecting the north to south and its level of danger, the Anzob Tunnel was built. Although construction was delayed due to electricity faults and other problems, the tunnel was completed in 2006.
