Three overpasses to be built
On May 19, Mayor of Yerevan Karen Karapetyan and Regional Director of the Asian Development Bank Matthew Westfoil signed an agreement on a program for developing municipal infrastructures and sustainable municipal development within the framework of a loan agreement. Through step-by-step funding, the first part of the program costing 60 million dollars will be allocated for the construction of transit roads in Yerevan.
The signed agreement envisages the construction of a 5.6 km road, 3 overpasses, a 140 m bridge over the Hrazdan River and various passageways and breast-walls. Transit roads will be built in the section connecting Shirak Street to Artashat highway and circumventing Noragavit.
The construction of transit roads will considerably discharge the flow of transportation in central Yerevan and will establish a direct link between Artashat and the two highways in Etchmiadzin. In addition, by ensuring a link with the North-South Highway, it will also play a role in connecting the two separate sectors of the North-South Highway, as reported by the municipality's press service.
