YEREVAN, AUGUST 1, NOYAN TAPAN. On August 1 the Armenian president
Serge Sargsian participated in the opening ceremony of the transport
subway near the Airarat Cinema, at the crossroads of Yerevan's Tigran
the Great, Khanjian and Agatangeghos Streets. The transport node
starts from Khorenatsi Street and ends in Khanjian Street in front
of the Pegagogical Academy. It ensures an interrupted movement from
Agatangeghos Street to Khanjian Street and in the opposite direction,
and a pedestrian crossing is regulated by traffic lights. Griar
company began the construction of the transport node by design of
Yerevanproject Institute in June 2007, the program cost made 1 billion
845 million drams which was allocated from the RA state budget. The
total length of the node is 360 meters, the length of the underground
part is 80 meters, its width - 15 meters.
During the opening ceremony Yerevan's mayor Yervand Zakharian stated
that this structure is one of the junction points of the complex road
construction program that will ensure tranport flows along a freeway
with a large capacity which is being built in Saralanj, bypassing the
Small Center of the city and considerably reducing the time of movement
from the southern to north-eastern parts of Yerevan. "Today the rapid
and large-scale construction of Saralanj highway, Getar freeway,
and work done in Heratsi, Charents, Koryun, Alek Manukian, Nalbandian
and Khanjian Streets is in the junction phase and will be completed
in late September," the mayor said, adding that in order to deal with
traffic congestion in the city's center, it is envisaged to build soon
underground parking lots at Opera Square, Sharles Aznavour Square,
Shahumian Square and Sakharov Square and near Yerevan Cycle Track.
