A long-expected transport link was opened in Yerevan today, which,
specialists say, will completely change the face of the city center and
will considerably improve the state of transport communication. The
red ribbon of the newly constructed high-speed highway was cut by
President Serzh Sargsyan and ex-President Robert Kocharyan.
The last sector of the high-speed highway linking the southeastern and
northwestern parts of the city is 2.6 km long. The new highway will
considerably lighten the traffic on Mashtots and Tigran Mets Avenues,
as well as Khanjyan, Alex manoogian, Isahakyan, Abovyan, Nalbandyan,
Koryun and Charents Streets and will reduce the time spent on roads.
The Mayor of Yerevan, Yervand Zakharyan, said over the past two years
unprecedented construction works have been done in the very heavy part
of the city. According to him, five new multilevel transport links
have been constructed, six pedestrian overpasses have been built,
all three bridges on Getar have been replaced. All in all, $8.5
million was allocated from State Budget for the construction works.
The Mayor of Yerevan assures that the expectations and the difficulties
the citizens of Yerevan faced during the construction works will be
fully reimbursed by the exploitation of the highway.
