Under the World Bank program "Development of Local Economy and Infrastructures", an 18 km long road connecting the Ararat and Kotayk regions (Garni- Lanjazat) has been repaired, which is of great tourism importance. According to the official statement of the government, about 2 billion drams were allocated for the implementation of road works on this section, which connects the following tourist destinations such as Garni, Khor Virap, Dvin and the Azat reservoir.
It is reported that the asphalting has already been completed, but over the next months, work is expected to ensure the safety and long-term operation of the road section. According to the source, the road, which has not been repaired since Soviet times, will significantly ease the congested traffic in Yerevan, and will provide an opportunity to bypass the North-South road. The next object for road works under this program will be, according to the RA government, the tourist destinations of Jermuk, where about 3 billion drams will be directed.
