ArmInfo. 13 billion drams will be allocated for the reconstruction of 58 km of roads in Armenia. The decision was made at the RA government meeting on May 7.
As RA Minister of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure David Khudatyan noted in his speech, the funds will be allocated through the reallocation of budgetary funds. The minister noted that the cost includes allocations for technical inspection, as well as a 5% interest payment for work already completed. Of the 58 km of roads, 1 km will be interstate, 27 km will be national, and 30 km will be regional. Three interchanges are also included in the program.
In this regard, RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan specified that one 0.9-kilometer-long road leads from Gyumri to the state border, which will be completed in 2026. Another project concerns the construction of an interchange from the village of Verin Ptghni towards Balahovit and a road leading towards the city of Abovyan. This section of the road will be over 5 kilometers long. Completion of this program is also scheduled for 2026. It is planned to modernize the 16.7-kilometer-long highway leading from Yerevan to Garni, as well as other sections.
