ArmInfo.According to preliminary estimates, the construction of the Ajapnyak metro (subway) station  will be completed by 2030-2032. This was reported to Yerevan Mayor Tigran Avinyan during a working meeting of the capital's mayor's office on July 1.

In particular, it was noted that this schedule was drawn up taking  into account all possible risks and deviations, and depends on what  the source of financing will be. Those responsible for the project,  at the latest in August, must submit an assessment of the economic  efficiency of the project to the Investment Committee of the Republic  of Armenia and conduct negotiations on financing. The environmental  impact assessment (EIA) is scheduled to be completed in October this  year. This will be followed by a comprehensive state examination and  a tender process in 2025. The construction, which will last about 4  years, is scheduled to begin in 2026. The medium-term expenditure  program is 6 billion drams, but as a result of the approval of the  program by the Investment Council, its size will be adjusted. "This  is a realistic positive scenario that depends on the sources of  funding," the mayor's office noted.

Tigran Avinyan, in turn, emphasized that it is important to be  proactive with government partners in solving technical, financial  problems and in matters of conducting examinations in order to  complete everything on time.

"We made a promise and this station will be built. Please keep me  informed so that I can intervene when necessary. Because all these  processes cannot be left to a bureaucratic process. This way the  project can die a slow death," the mayor said. 

At the end of November 2021, it was reported that the leading Russian   company Metrogiprotrans won the tender announced by the Yerevan City   Hall for the design of the Ajapnyak metro station in the   administrative district of the same name in the Armenian capital. The   preliminary version of the project involved the construction of a   bridge across the Hrazdan River only for the metro, but   Metrogiprotrans proposed building a second "floor" for cars and   pedestrians. Chairman of the Board of Directors of Metrogiprotrans   Valery Abramson also proposed a metro development project to the   Armenian government worth $500 million.  "The Russian Agency for   Export Credit and Investment Insurance (EXIAR) is ready to support   the program on favorable terms.  With these funds we will be able to   modernize the infrastructure of the old metro, and also plan those   areas of the city towards which stations can be expanded," Abramson   said.

It was reported that if the loan agreement with ESCAR is approved,   construction work will last about 1.5 years. According to the plan of   the city authorities, the path to the new metro station, 525 meters   long, should pass through a tunnel, the construction of which began   in Soviet times and remained unfinished.  Then the Ajapnyak station   remained unfinished; the project included its continuation to the   Davidashen district on the northwestern outskirts of the city. The   construction project itself covers 3 stages.  The first stage  involved  geological, environmental and other examinations; perhaps  already in  October the Yerevan City Hall will pay the designer the  545 million  drams due to him. Another 300 days are allotted for the   implementation of the second and third stages. The total cost of the   project could be about $50 million.
