Abstract
Road construction in the Kurdish regions was one of the first categories to attract the attention of rulers and statesmen from the post-World War I period. A set of factors such as chaos, lack of security, weakness of the central government, lack of budget, etc. were the main obstacles to the construction of road construction projects in this area. With the coming to power of Reza Shah, roads and road construction in these areas received serious attention. The initial view of the road construction project in the first decade of Reza Shah's reign was security-military, but its development and expansion in the second decade of her rule took on commercial-economic goals. Based on unpublished archival documents, newspapers and descriptive-analytical methods of this research intend to study the process of developments and road construction measures in Kurdish areas in the period under review. The results of the research indicate that; During the sixteen years of Reza Shah's rule, most of the important cities and centers of this region were connected to other centers through highways. Despite the quality weaknesses, the development and expansion of road construction played an effective role in developing and consolidating the influence of the central government and trade relations in these areas
