Project of 11th station of Yerevan Metro approved 

ArmInfo. The project package of the 11th metro station "Ajapnyak" received a positive conclusion of the state comprehensive examination. According to the press service  of the Yerevan Municipality, this means that the following processes will follow: approval by the Government of Armenia of full financing, alienation and resettlement work from the affected area, preparation for the construction tender.

Details of the project implementation and upcoming steps were  discussed during the meeting between Yerevan Mayor Tigran Avinyan and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Russian company "Metrogiprotrans", which was engaged in the development of the project, Valery Abramson.

It is reported that Avinyan highly appreciated the effective  cooperation established with the company "Metrogiprotrans", and expressed confidence that the joint work will continue at the stage of construction of the station. According to the source, the investment package has already been submitted to the Government of Armenia for decision-making in the Public Investment Committee chaired by the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia. In the near future, the Yerevan Municipality will also put into official circulation a draft decision on the priority public interest in relation to this territory.

A few days earlier, Yerevan Vice-Mayor Levon Oganesyan announced at the Interregional Russian- Armenian Forum that the construction work is planned to start at the end of this year or at the beginning of 2026. He noted that the Ajapnyak metro station is strategic, since it will serve one of the most densely populated areas of the capital (115 thousand people) and, being located on the right bank of the Hrazdan River, will become a key hub for the future expansion of the capital's metro. The new station, according to Oganesyan, will connect the left bank of the Hrazdan River with the city center, the total length of the new line will be one and a half kilometers, including a 210-meter metro bridge across the gorge.

The new metro station will give Yerevan up to 14 thousand new  passengers annually, reduce CO2 emissions - up to 7 thousand tons per year, and save passengers up to 30 minutes per trip. The total cost of the project, as Oganesyan noted, will be about $250 million, and construction will last up to 5 years.
