The minister added the construction of alternative roads in Syunik, in particular on the Tatev-Aghvan section with a length of 43 km, to the unplanned works of last year. In addition, according to him, intensive work has begun on the construction of a road connecting the city of Kapan with 6 villages, which, due to the closure of the Kapan-Chakaten road, have lost contact with the regional center. The road will pass through the forest area and will become an alternative to the road through Meghri, which is difficult to pass and takes 2 hours for residents of a number of villages in the community.
